[ti:Past And Future Ruins] [ar:Thursday] [al:No Devolucion] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Past And Future Ruins - Thursday [00:14.86] [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 [01:20.83]Taped against the lights [01:24.51]Faulty seams drawn on plastic leaves [01:31.27]Past and future replicas [01:34.76]Past and future streams [01:37.34] [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 [01:48.84]Depths of your belief [01:52.22]Because somewhere there must be a better place [01:58.22]Here you call to your neighbor [02:00.48]Only to see the track is set and they're [02:03.23]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] [02:27.36]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 [02:51.61]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 [03:08.67]And it's marked with the fountain I've seen [03:15.23]Glowing in my sleep " [03:19.61]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 [03:36.36]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 [03:47.00]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
