Colony Collapse

Verse 1

Mouse clicks

Tapping on the plastic

Tristan stares at the glass

He is counting digital silver

Buried under the red sand

Alone

Totally alone

Building a roof for the pawns

While the roof in his kitchen leaks

Heavy rain

Cold rain

Chorus

Oh Tee Pot

You're boiling over

Steam rising from the shell

Tee Pot

The colony is starving

While you sit in your room

Drinking water

Just water

Verse 2

Primary colors

Moving blocks like a child

Tristan finds a way

To ignore the mail on the floor

Bills

Blue bills

Yellow warnings

Red alerts on the screen

He saves the game

He loses his soul

Everything burns

Tristan stays still

Empty chair

Chorus

Oh Tee Pot

You're boiling over

Steam rising from the shell

Tee Pot

The colony is starving

While you sit in your room

Drinking water

Just water

Bridge

Maybe he's happy

Maybe he's sleeping

Maybe he's gone

Tristan

Tristan

Tristan

Tee Pot is a hollow vessel

Whistling in the dark

Chorus

Oh Tee Pot

You're boiling over

Steam rising from the shell

Tee Pot

The colony is starving

While you sit in your room

Drinking water

Just water

Outro

Raiders at the gate

Tristan doesn't move

Game over

Power failure

Darkness

Absolute darkness
