"Something That Still Is" lyrics

Truth perceived
Put the i before the e except after c
And the sea that drained the colors from these streets

Equivalent
Equivalent of all the times we used to spend
And the currency exchanged to make amends

Think it's something that it once was
Thought it something that it once was
But it's something that still is

Think it's something that it once was
Thought it something that it once was
But it's something that still is

I know a wife
And the label round her shoulders won't fit right
The only tightness in her dress
Is sacrifice
But she wears her grandma's size

Ticket to Rome
They said to do exactly the same things
That they've done
Long as the ruins that remain traditional

Think it's something that it once was
Thought it something that it once was
But it's something that still is

Talking in tongues of old
Holding on to what's dear
Doing what was told
And passing on the fear
Waiting on a tipping scale
A step from the abyss
There's something in the water
And something that still is

Something that still is
Something that still is
Something that still is
Something that still is

(Bom bom bom)
(Bom bom bom)
(Bom bom bom)
Something that still is

(Bom bom bom)
(Bom bom bom)
(Bom bom bom)
Something that still is

(Bom bom bom)
(Bom bom bom)
(Bom bom bom)
Something that still is

(Bom bom bom)
(Bom bom bom)
(Bom bom bom)
