Still the Same

You're cutting corners are you mourning in your mind for a bygone time
You're scorning currency all worry-free as every bill arrives
In vain you shake your heavy chain shrieking injustice and how you've been wronged
A shattered hourglass is spilling out your dreams
So far gone, so far gone

By any name
We're still the same
Through rust and rain
From whence we came
By any name
By any name
By any name, from whence we came

You lob your anger at the parapets that curse you from those lofty heights
You find camaraderie in forums that conform around your mind
You quickly calcify your diatribe and nail over the window blinds
But it's so lonely in a boarded house with no view of the sky

By any name
We're still the same
Through rust and rain
From whence we came
By any name
By any name
By any name, from whence we came

We can break this bitter fever
We can starve this poltergeist
We can end our incantations
Put to sleep old appetites
Though the past may be a poison
We can build immunities
Calibrate our navigation
And return this house to peace

We've been dreaming
Of a bygone time
We've been dreaming
Of a bygone lie
We've been dreaming
Of a bygone time
We've been dreaming
Of a bygone
