We were here
They say that we can reconcile this,
Put it in the past,
They say that we can reconcile this,
What if I can’t?
It’s in our blood,
It’s in our blood,
It’s in our blood
Why does it feel like we’re on the edge,
Staring down at certain death,
Why does it feel like the story ends,
Before it starts?
We were here, in these fading memories,
O We were here, in these fleeting stories,
O We were here, and these disappearing words,
Even when they start, losing meaning
It’s in our blood,
It’s in our blood,
It’s in my blood,
It’s in my blood
We come we go just like the days,
There’s light then dark in me, then the morning rays,
I guess I know just like the snow,
We fall we melt we fade away
A month, a day, a week, a year
Just like to say that we were here
We were here, in these fading memories,
O We were here, in these fleeting stories,
O We were here, in these disappearing words,
Even when they stop, losing meaning
It’s in my blood,
It’s in our blood,
It’s in my blood,
It’s in our blood...
(forever)
