"Presence Of The Past" lyrics
Shiny metropolis, cruel archivist
On the brink of wakefulness
Hazy afterglow, urban decadence
Got me slightly misty-eyed
Like amnesiacs holding to images
Joy of reminiscence, painful reveries
Mulling what we had, regretting what
We can never have again
Presence of the past
Keep it, while it lasts
Till the absence hits
Out of nowhere
They may come at dawn
And destroy your home
But they'll never have the lightest
Sadness of your dreams
Always in motion, in transition
Place of constant arrival
Hiding layers, human evils
Buried deeply underground
Glossy skyscrapers to be shattered
Neon lights to wear the rust
Unconstruced memory warehouse
Hollow subway echos chant
On the brink of wakefulness
Hazy afterglow, urban decadence
Got me slightly misty-eyed
Like amnesiacs holding to images
Joy of reminiscence, painful reveries
Mulling what we had, regretting what
We can never have again
Presence of the past
Keep it, while it lasts
Till the absence hits
Out of nowhere
They may come at dawn
And destroy your home
But they'll never have the lightest
Sadness of your dreams
Always in motion, in transition
Place of constant arrival
Hiding layers, human evils
Buried deeply underground
Glossy skyscrapers to be shattered
Neon lights to wear the rust
Unconstruced memory warehouse
Hollow subway echos chant
