By/Gone Lyrics by Roman À Clef

Abandonware

0

Whats the point of knowing it's all for show (You know)
When you've still got to play your part kid (Oh, oh)
All the boys are losing their hair
And all the girls pretend they don't care
Shed all your worries, better takecare
Waiting to forget what they know
I just want to start again
(Less composed, a better friend)
This production can't last
And it shouldn't
And it didn't
(Don't you ever abide, whoa)
The past can provide for you
(Don't you ever abide, whoa)
I've seen it before
They’re buried like forceps
Last time I saw you, you told me about a book you'd read
"Answered Prayers" written in the style we dread
Ruthless in it's use of fiction as a blind for the truth
But everyone's a slave to fact (Still we never seem to get it right)
Our discourses
Using storied sources
So many feeble
(So many people working in the abstract)
In due reflection, the patterns were there
People gaze upon cycles in awe and despair
Bend straight lines quotidian thoughts
About the Dark Age, the 60s, the 90s and the aughts
Pondering, intellectually wan
Like all devoted fans we never notice
When we're on the jumbotron
Pining for some age bygone
Oh, thoughts of men accurs'd
Past and to come seem best
Present, things, worst
Oh, these storied sentiments
Dare we ever rest?
When every meager folly
Is clear in all respects? (Something to someone)
With a word we come undone
Truth or consequence
Some Mothers Son
Evocative, to some
Something to someone
