Century After Century

Since you're breathing

Is it all that space can fill?

So just by looking in I'll be looking still

(Find and follow stories well)

You make it except for a newspaper

The headline's telling me that fortune favours the brave

I've never been known to be that brave

What I want is on its way out

All I needed was an easier way to stay

Walking around the city

As the light fades

Is that all that you remain

I'm thinking about these promises

That I have ever made

I know what they will never say

I know what they will never say

Century after century they remain

And if I need to remember

That the entire earth is outside this window

So close the windows

And keep the curtains shut forever

And if I need to remember

The entire earth is outside this room

So close the windows

Close the windows

Isn't it romantic to be romantic

When you don't understand what you love?

Or if a word like that could ever mean anything

But what you want is on its way out

I didn't hear cheerleading for creative writers

And your cheekbones don't taste of anything at all

Its on its way out

Its just an easier way to stay

Talking about a city

That the light made

Is it all that you remain?

Its the same story told

But it's these stories that don’t fade

I know what they will never say

I know what they will never say

Century after century they remain

Is it all that you remain?

Is it all that you remain?

Is it all that you remain?

Is it all that you remain?

Is it all that you remain?

(I know what they will never say)

Is it all that you remain?

(I know what they will never say)

Is it all that you remain?

(I know what they will never say)

Is it all that you remain?

(I know what they will never say)

Is it all that you remain?

(I know what they will never say)

Is it all that you remain?
