Like Dinosaurs

Unheard sounds begin to form as the boy tears up the floorboards
They won't notice who has left as they barricade the backdoor
We have a strong head start and each of us will do our part to hold the road
And the fewer we have to bury, means the more we have to carry the load
There's one more thing that you should learn before we go

Just so you know, this could be the last time that we have to draw a line
If anyone else tries to lead us, I say I'd rather bleed out my lungs or what's left in my chest
We'll be strong 'lest you fall behind
Keep your eyes lit and who knows what we'll find
And if only, if only, the world it weren't so lonely I might mind
I might mind

It may seem like an odd time to smile, while the blood dries on my face
But we won't go out like dinosaurs or the human race
They will struggle for their old ways; it's all about those new days for me
We're the ones who had to learn more
We're the ones we've always earned for to become like

Where I can breathe, yes I can breathe better than I used to
We are out of the dead world and sitting in the nude
Those wilting days are over
Peak your head from cover to see what's so bright
We'll be strong 'lest you fall behind
Keep your eyes lit and who knows what we'll find
And if only, if only, the world it weren't so lonely I might mind

We'll be strong lest you fall behind
Keep your eyes lit and who knows what we'll find
And if only, if only, the world... if only, if only, the world it weren't so lonely I might mind
I might mind
