Wiser Than Old
Take me back to the future I belong
Take me back haven't seen it in so long
Memories of the future shine
Bring it back now to that time
Ugly cars and ugly lights
Ugly pictures of ugly sights
In the mess
I feel alright
Below the same stars every night
Back to the future we go on our way
Finding new places and faces to stay
Soaring with synths and singing with sines
Beating the drums and fleeting the times
Inside lie eyes wiser than old
Find cries wild within the soul
Aching, shaking, taking a hold
Waking, making, an old-new mold
Shimmer, shine in shivering cold
Figure, find in an old-new world
Retrograde future
Bring me there
Be my suture
Make me swear
With hope of a future wilder than true
In hope of a new true and kinder worldview
Had we yet had it before in times past
Had we yet cladded it more in our cast
Will we wake wisely and welcome the world
Or will we make miserly and watch it unfurl?
Away with herds away with clerics
Silence breaks sins, sings simple sanctums
Silence sings songs, sings sanguine anthems
Listen like long ago folk of sails
Listen to time intoning its tales
Intoning its tales
Take me back haven't seen it in so long
Memories of the future shine
Bring it back now to that time
Ugly cars and ugly lights
Ugly pictures of ugly sights
In the mess
I feel alright
Below the same stars every night
Back to the future we go on our way
Finding new places and faces to stay
Soaring with synths and singing with sines
Beating the drums and fleeting the times
Inside lie eyes wiser than old
Find cries wild within the soul
Aching, shaking, taking a hold
Waking, making, an old-new mold
Shimmer, shine in shivering cold
Figure, find in an old-new world
Retrograde future
Bring me there
Be my suture
Make me swear
With hope of a future wilder than true
In hope of a new true and kinder worldview
Had we yet had it before in times past
Had we yet cladded it more in our cast
Will we wake wisely and welcome the world
Or will we make miserly and watch it unfurl?
Away with herds away with clerics
Silence breaks sins, sings simple sanctums
Silence sings songs, sings sanguine anthems
Listen like long ago folk of sails
Listen to time intoning its tales
Intoning its tales
