Rubble of the Past |
The wounds we licked |
And losses inflicted |
Drifted off in the distance |
And battle scars lifted |
If history is told by the victor |
Rip the old script up, painted over picture |
The official version of the vista, rose coloured glasses |
But can you hear the whispers? |
They’re singing |
And of all of those winters |
Those incremental inches |
The memory of which is |
Like sand through the fingers |
If history is told by the richest |
Maybe you could pay to fix the painted over picture (picture, picture) |
Official version of the vistas but can you hear the whispers? |
They’re singing |
We’re still trying to swallow down the past |
Yeah-yeah-yeah |
Before the past takes us down with her at last |
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah |
I can remember on that day |
We were the reigning champions |
You swallowed down that trophy |
All you remember is what they said |
You’re digging in to debris |
For shards of glass that reflect the self |
You thought was good and now all those parts |
Of you are dying somewhere else |
Cough it up it’s gonna hurt |
But if you cough it up you’ll remember |
All the roses that you grew |
And all of the beauty that came through |
Dusty skin from the rubble of the past |
Wipe off the shit and find at last |
We are right here, we are right now |
And we’re gonna get through all of this somehow |
Somehow |
Going through the rubble |
Going through the rubble (somehow) |
Going through the rubble |
Going through the rubble |
We’re still trying to swallow down the past |
Yeah-yeah-yeah |
Before the past takes us down with her at last |
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah |
We’re still trying to swallow down the past |
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah |
Before the past takes us down with her at last |
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah |
So we tried to write it down and document it in the hope |
That maybe later you can understand the fuck where we’re coming from |
And the photograph is sepia and thinnin', you could swear to God |
It’s not a version of ourselves we’re running from |
What’s necessary to forget for history repeating |
The finer details like a hairline that had receded |
So we’re going through the rubble looking for a treaty |
To find a pulse when you thought the heart had stopped beating |
And if a spoonful of fiction helps the history go down |
Can you trust the version of events that we know now? |
Who we think we are become a battleground |
The past is a thing that we fling around |
A thing that we fling around, a thing that we fling around |
A ship we can run aground, wreck for the treasure found |
Settle on a new account |
Going through the rubble |
Going through the rubble |
Going through the rubble |
Going through the rubble |
Going through the rubble |
Going through the rubble |
Going through the rubble |
Going through the rubble |
Going through the rubble |
Going through the rubble |
Going through the rubble |
Going through the rubble |
Going through the rubble |
Going through the rubble |
Going through the rubble |
Going through the rubble |
