Artifact #1 Lyrics


What would it take to gain acceptance
To the grounds behind your eyes
You know I'm open to suggestion
The one you made we never triedLet it slip right out from under
Your breath and it rolled around my head
It was nothing I'd consider
I knew it had to happen thenStood on the banks of the Potomac
We watched the water rushing by
You said we should live in the moment
Then I'd miss you all the timeAnd I know no one will believe me
But I don't want a second chance
To be an object of desire
If that means slipping through your hands
If I had tried to make you mine
You would have walked away
I can't compete with memories
They never have to changeThis world is full of missing persons
All of these unsolved mysteries

If someone says they know for certain
They're selling something certainlySo when I set myself to wonder
All the questions that remain
The only one that even matters
Is when I'll see you're face againI keep looking back for artifacts
To prove that you were here
The sound that's been keeps echoing
It never disappears

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
