A Thousand Years Ago
A thousand years ago the Brooklyn bowling alley
Put on a show for mental health
Standing in the bathroom now gazing in the mirror
Trying to recognize your self
Has it all gone down for the better or the worse?
Tough to figure out if it's a blessing or a curse
Lately you've been thinking it's a little bit of both
Either way there's one thing that you know
That bowling alley show is a thousand years ago
A thousand years ago you threw a special party
To celebrate a milestone
Looking around you now so many of the others
Struggling through every day alone
The room turned upside-down as the radio was humming
The ones who made the killing are the ones who saw it coming
Lately you've been wondering how the wicked always know
And why the rest of us are left to try and grow
Picturing a life we used to know a thousand years ago
And you know there's got to be a silver lining
In the moments you can't face it anymore
Take a walk outside and usually the sun is shining
Faith is nearer than it ever was before
Truth is dearer than it ever was before
Love is clearer than it ever was
A thousand years ago this coming February
A woman walking in a mask
Even in the moment there you noted it peculiar
Too busy trying to get somewhere to ask
Not too much longer after that the whole thing took a turn
Hard these days to clarify exactly what's been learned
Lately you've been thinking it's a process very slow
Either way there's one thing that you know
That city woman walking through the snow
Is a thousand years ago
A thousand years ago
It's a thousand years ago
A thousand years ago
Put on a show for mental health
Standing in the bathroom now gazing in the mirror
Trying to recognize your self
Has it all gone down for the better or the worse?
Tough to figure out if it's a blessing or a curse
Lately you've been thinking it's a little bit of both
Either way there's one thing that you know
That bowling alley show is a thousand years ago
A thousand years ago you threw a special party
To celebrate a milestone
Looking around you now so many of the others
Struggling through every day alone
The room turned upside-down as the radio was humming
The ones who made the killing are the ones who saw it coming
Lately you've been wondering how the wicked always know
And why the rest of us are left to try and grow
Picturing a life we used to know a thousand years ago
And you know there's got to be a silver lining
In the moments you can't face it anymore
Take a walk outside and usually the sun is shining
Faith is nearer than it ever was before
Truth is dearer than it ever was before
Love is clearer than it ever was
A thousand years ago this coming February
A woman walking in a mask
Even in the moment there you noted it peculiar
Too busy trying to get somewhere to ask
Not too much longer after that the whole thing took a turn
Hard these days to clarify exactly what's been learned
Lately you've been thinking it's a process very slow
Either way there's one thing that you know
That city woman walking through the snow
Is a thousand years ago
A thousand years ago
It's a thousand years ago
A thousand years ago
