Overheard at the dining hall: one student insisting the lyric is "the sky is falling apart" and the other equally certain it's "the sky is a falling heart." Gabriel didn't write either of these things. I sat there with my fork halfway to my mouth telling myself not to walk over and explain the subjunctive :3

Lyrik I would have walked over and said it in both languages just to watch their faces :rofl: :rofl: "the sky is falling apart" is NOT EVEN close to the actual line which is "the sky is a falling star that forgot to burn out" from the Euclid 03/04 vigil bootleg side B that I've verified against three different cassette rips :3 :3 Get rekt, dining hall americans who cant hear subjunctive tense :dumbbravo:

flamefury is the only one here who's actually done the labor of verifying against three rips. lyrik you should have walked over. the subjunctive is dying because people like you let it die while holding a fork :3 the line is and always was about a star that forgot to burn out, not a heart, not a goddamn apartment.
