this one’s for the ones who stop to think
this one’s for the ones who always knew
this one’s for the ones who see the absurdity
this was a place we lived in peace
a place we lived in silence
a place we lived together in light
the last time
is cloud nine
and you won’t know
you’re dead
but the saddest time
is the first time
you see
the last time
up ahead
how many days can you see through things
how frayed is a soul made of string
how many ways can a memory bring you down
what happened all the power burned out
what happened all that’s certain’s in doubt
what happened all the love turned it back on us
there’s no one around who doesn’t think they know
nowhere you’re left to be, no place left to go
