《Past And Future Ruins》歌词

[00:00:00] Past And Future Ruins - Thursday

[00:01:09] Hold your hand to the fire

[00:01:12] And your eyes to the sky

[00:01:17] Just different shades of cellophane

[00:01:20] Taped against the lights

[00:01:24] Faulty seams drawn on plastic leaves

[00:01:31] Past and future replicas

[00:01:34] Past and future streams

[00:01:37] Hold your head underwater

[00:01:41] And try to see if you can breathe

[00:01:44] Or if you drown in the shallow

[00:01:48] Depths of your belief

[00:01:52] Because somewhere there must be a better place

[00:01:58] Here you call to your neighbor

[00:02:00] Only to see the track is set and they're

[00:02:03] Walking back and forth in a circle

[00:02:05] Saying the same words

[00:02:07] Making their lips sync

[00:02:08] In time with psalms on Sunday mornings

[00:02:15] And all their hearts align with pale fire

[00:02:27] So call a paper ambulance

[00:02:30] To trace the paper cuts

[00:02:33] Don't call on me I'm a plastic reed

[00:02:41] Bending in the feigning wind

[00:02:44] Of artificial fields

[00:02:48] Then you read the paper

[00:02:51] Of a woman's early death

[00:02:56] A note explaining why she left

[00:03:01] It says:

[00:03:02] "Somewhere there must be a better place

[00:03:08] And it's marked with the fountain I've seen

[00:03:15] Glowing in my sleep "

[00:03:19] So you want to die and leave this shadow land behind

[00:03:23] To eviscerate the truth from the lie

[00:03:30] Cause somewhere there must be a better place

[00:03:36] But what we thought was a fountain of life and light

[00:03:39] Turns out to be a mountain crushing down upon us

[00:03:43] Casting its shadow closing the distance

[00:03:45] Between us and Babylon

[00:03:47] And all our songs

[00:03:49] Are just the sounds of past and future days

[00:03:54] Past of future names

[00:03:59] Collapsing around us
