Ben Gibbard - Binary Sea lyrics

Oh Atlas could not understand The world was so much smaller than The one he used to hold before But the weight it brought him to the floor As you watched him struggle to his feet You took photos capturing his defeat And messaged them to all your friends And we all laughed at his expense Oh come my love and swim with me Out in this vast Binary Sea Zero's and one's patterns appear They'll prove to all that we were here For if there is no document We cannot build our monument So look into the lens and I'll make sure this moment never dies Oh Atlas could not stay engaged Was more distracted every day You slowly fell into disarray Just trying to think of something to say For if there is no document There cannot be a monument So lean in close or lend an ear There's something brilliant bound to happen here
