We drew nine lines from east to west We drew nine from north to south And we stitched our names in concrete veins Through miles and miles and miles of ground The solid rock, it does not care If we scratch our names, if we scab and tear If we line and spine and grind it If we dare to try to sign it But we were here, yes, we were here Say the spirals and the runes / ruins Yes, we made beauty, it made sense Sometimes in our better moments We were wild and we were wrong And this is how our portrait's drawn So sculpt and sketch and sign your own All we leave are standing stones We scored the limestone just like so To map the stars' ascent To prove we understood the moon We left circles where she went The triangle unlocked for us To Babel up our towers And then we wrangled fire and rocketeered Our sticks back to the stars Saying we were here, yes, we were here With the ciphers in the caves Yes, we made beauty, it made sense Once a lifetime, we were brave, oh We were wild and we were wrong And this is how our portrait's drawn So sculpt and sketch and sign your own All we leave are standing stones The stars have hardly time for us They'll scatter every sign of us But my path is mine and I'm drivin' dust As I find it find it find it As I dare to try to sign it But I am here, I am here That's all I can know I'll sing it spell it smash it, hell, it's What my soul is for But we were here, yes, we were here And this is how it went We made beauty, it made sense And we destroy and we repent because We were wild and we were wrong And this is how our judgment's drawn So sculpt and sketch and sign your own All we leave are standing stones All we leave are standing stones
