Lyrics

It's the years that we own and we earned them

See the bridges we built, now are burned down

Even though a few friends just returned them

Shit on and shit there, we affirm them

Though the pattern has always been righteous

We know darkness

So, we wipe dust

From our eyes, no surprise when the broom come

We do night like the honor, the moon, sun

People think we are linked to the solving

Of the problem, that's revolvin'

Around music today, but it's not true

We just do it our way 'cause we're not you

But we know you

We embrace you like brothers, bestow you

With an outro that's also an intro

For the east, and the west, and the central

It's the years that we own and we earned them

(It's the years that we own, and the bridges we built)

See the bridges we built, now are burned down

Even though a few friends just returned them

Shit on and shit there, we affirm them

(Shit on and shit there)

Though the pattern has always been righteous

(Righteous)

We know darkness

So we wipe dust

From our eyes, no surprise when the broom come

(From our eyes, no surprise)

We do night like the honor, the moon, sun

People think we are linked to the solving

(People think we are linked)

Of the problem, that's revolvin'

(That's revolvin')

Around music today, but it's not true

(It's not true)

We just do it our way 'cause we're not you

(Not you)

But we know you

We embrace you like brothers, bestow you

(We embrace you like brothers)

With an outro that's also an intro

(With an outro that's also an intro)

For the east, and the west, and the central

(It's the years that we own and we earned them)

(It's the years that we own and we earned them)

(See the bridges we built, now are burned down)

(And the bridges we built, now are burned down)

We are the present, the past and still the future

(Even though a few friends just returned them)

(Even though a few friends just returned them)

(Shit on and shit there, we affirm them)

(Shit on and shit there)

(Though the pattern has always been righteous)

(Though the pattern is righteous)

(We know darkness)

Bound by friendship, fueled and inspired by what's at stake

(So we wipe dust)

(From our eyes, no surprise when the broom come)

(From our eyes, no surprise)

(We do night like the honor, the moon, sun)

(People think we are linked to the solving)

(People think we are linked to the solving)

Saviors, heroes? Nah, just common contributors

(Of the problem, that's revolvin')

(Around music today, but it's not true)

(Around music today)

(We just do it our way 'cause we're not you)

Hopin' that what we created inspires you

(We're not you)

(But we know you)

To selflessly challenge and contribute

(We embrace you like brothers, bestow you)

(We embrace you like brothers)

(With an outro that's also an intro)

(With an outro that's also an intro)

Sincerely, anonymously, Nobody

(For the east, and the west, and the central)

(It's the years that we own and we earned them)

(See the bridges we built, now are burned down)

(Even though a few friends just returned them)

(Shit on and shit there, we affirm them)

(Though the pattern has always been righteous)

(Benjamin says he knows that)

(Number?)
