[00:00.45] Thursday - "Past And Future Ruins"
[00:14.87] .
[01:09.30] Hold your hand to the fire
[01:12.58] And your eyes to the sky
[01:17.08] Just different shades of cellophane
[01:20.84] Taped against the lights.
[01:24.51] Faulty seams, drawn on plastic leaves
[01:31.27] Past and future replicas
[01:34.77] Past and future streams
[01:37.35] .
[01:37.60] Hold your head underwater
[01:41.10] And try to see if you can breathe
[01:44.72] Or if you drown in the shallow
[01:48.85] Depths of your belief
[01:52.22] Because somewhere there must be a better place
[01:58.22] Here you call to your neighbor
[02:00.49] Only to see the track is set and they're
[02:03.24] Walking back and forth in a circle
[02:05.61] Saying the same words
[02:07.11] Making their lips sync
[02:08.92] In time with psalms on Sunday mornings
[02:15.36] And all their hearts align with pale fire
[02:21.30] .
[02:27.37] So call a paper ambulance
[02:30.67] To trace the paper cuts
[02:33.92] Don't call on me, I'm a plastic reed
[02:41.61] Bending in the feigning wind
[02:44.74] Of artificial fields
[02:46.67]
[02:48.86] Then you read the paper
[02:51.62] Of a woman's early death
[02:56.36] A note explaining why she left
[03:01.99] It says:
[03:02.55] "Somewhere there must be a better place
[03:08.68] And it's marked with the fountain I've seen
[03:15.24] Glowing in my sleep."
[03:19.62] So you want to die and leave this shadow land behind
[03:23.55] To eviscerate the truth from the lie
[03:30.36] Cause somewhere there must be a better place
[03:36.37] But what we thought was a fountain of life and light
[03:39.74] Turns out to be a mountain crushing down upon us,
[03:43.19] Casting its shadow, closing the distance
[03:45.07] Between us and Babylon
[03:47.01] And all our songs
[03:49.82] Are just the sounds of past and future days
[03:54.07] Past of future names
[03:59.36] Collapsing around us
