The place we lived became who we are When the future didn't seem so far We tore down the walls but didn't leave Because home isn't always what it seems The buildings grow when the city sleeps While we ignore the things that grow beneath We can pull our hands over our eyes 'Cause with a sun so hot, why not be blind? 'Cause with a sun so hot, why not be blind? In the night, on the forest floor I watched you drown beneath root and thorn
Your hair became the gra** upon the ground forlorn Old life uncharted, land unexplored When the buildings grow and the city sleeps Will we become what lies beneath When the time is right, and my body leaves 'Cause in my place, new life will breathe 'Cause in my place, new life will breathe 'Cause in my place, new life will breathe 'Cause in my place, new life will breathe
