It's knowing what's important
Hidden lockets of your hair
Felt exactly every moment
Even moments we never shareAnd all this land has been discovered
Every frame in front of me
Is describing in a story
A familiar historyThrough a city that's all closing
At least it's closing in on me
But you're too old to remember
Or I'm too young to agreeSecret teachings take me somewhere strange
Shadows gained and bottles drain
Let your tears fall in the shape
Of everyone of the American statesIf I could see your face
Before it's born and raised
Before it was born and raised
In memories wakeReassure me into changing names
Vision strained a seconds change
To be secure of everything
If I could make another worldWe're like flies landing on flies
We suffer what we never try
So I slick my hair and I stamp my feet
Until the darkness, until the darkness is completeIf I could see your face
Before it's born and raised
Before it was born and raised
In memories wake
