So Strange I Remember You

So strange I remember you in protest of a prayer And falling back from seas we fear to sail I swear I saw the shooter, gold teeth and a double dare Postmodern warnings seem inclined to fail Feigning an apology Those words they never left your lips Those 5 years in Bermuda slide by like the lights of passing ships So strange that I remember you Kneeling deep in Nietzsche's lies My throat was an open grave and I drank your stained glass eyes And they taste like dead cathedrals That are crumbling beneath a weight, ten thousand jaded tourists Who've traded in their hearts and hands for Disposable cameras, set to document to decay Set to capture just enough of life to catalogue the things we throw away (...breathing the fumes of our machines...) We've lost our way (...breathing through television dreams...) If we could only see us now The words of the dead ring in our ears But its only a lie The voice in your head brings you to tears But you don't know why The words of the dead ring in our ears But its only a lie The voice in your head brings you to tears But its only a lie Yes, its only a lie ...isn't it?
