lyrics

The skies have not been lit up with the darkness of your crowd
For more than a century you haven’t been around
It’s hard to imagine how things go so far astray
Seems like only yesterday we all were here to stay

I never saw the likes or looks of anything like you
You disappeared so long ago but left a couple clues
Of how you looked and how you lived and how you got around
Of how you faced the future that was sure to get you down
Since you’ve been gone you’ve been gone

Imagine all the pures and cures
that slipped right through our hands
Even when we realized we still ruined the land
Survivors of the fittest never piss into their well
Uncommon sense is endless when there’s no one left to tell

Dying’s not a new thing it’s been around awhile
In case you hadn’t noticed it’s now very much in style
So many journeys ended and so many caught between
It’s just a game of numbers when we're dying for the dream
Since you’ve been gone you’ve been gone

It’s hard to put your finger on the richness that we had
Unintended consequences kinda drive you mad
Yet we don’t learn We cannot help
We only serve ourselves
We mix in with the make-believe that dying’s just as well

Now I sit and look around and none of you are here
There’s no turning back when you’ve completely disappeared
It’s hard to face the new days
when you don’t learn from the past
We end it all We end it now
You were not built to last
Since you’ve been gone you’ve been gone
