lyrics

We were the past tense; Shouldn’t and should have
Gone towards the light
But now we’re present; Depending on who you ask
We’ve done wrong to achieve what’s right
Projected on a screen; Silent and looping
We were the light
All ones and zeros; Darlin’ we’re here but cold
Our hearts reach their shelf life
We haunted all our former homes and slept under rugs like dust
I’m not as good as I think I am but I’m better than I thought

I’m now a factor of my mother and father
Reach toward the light
They are the compost
We are the progress
In a recycled life
We haunted all our former homes and slept under rugs like dust
I’m not as good as I think I am but I’m better than I thought
The peaks and valleys; the heart of the city
Will someday translate
Open the windows; water the plants and they’ll grow
In dirt that we’ll be someday
We haunted all our former homes and slept under rugs like dust
I’m not as good as I think I am but I’m better than I thought
I’m not as good as I think I am but I’m better than I thought
