lyrics

You've become the same as your namesake- a state
Your eyes haven't changed at all
And they look on from classroom walls
With drawings you probably don't remember anymore
In backrooms on whiteboards
They knew you when you were doing fine

Do they know you anymore?
Do your muscles remember them?
Do you remember me?

If I knew what I know now- that death comes
In more ways than age and disease
Would I have seen the syth behind you in primary school classrooms?
He's just like the rest of us
He doesn't always get what he wants

Do you know him anymore?
Do your muscles remember him?
Do you remember me?

Do you know yourself anymore?
Do your lungs still operate?
Are you still coming back home late?
Fresh and born again
Unwhillingly bought back to life

Isn't the world a scary place
Trapped between the ocean and the tears running down your face
It can take your freedom
It can take your family
It can take your life
But it cannot take your history

You've become the same as your namesake- a state
