So This Is My Future

If they mean nothing let them go

I can't remember what it feels like on my own

I say nothing to prove they have capacity to

Love anything but themselves

But I believe in dinosaurs because I've seen their bones

Keep digging for the skulls of good intentions and a selfless corpse

That reeks of honest efforts to make things work

Lost forever are our former selves

Can you show me proof they ever lived

Or are they tainted memories of a wishful mind

That's looking for a reason to forgive

If they mean nothing let them go

Are those hands around the shoulders or the throat

Or maybe a bit of both

Try not to cringe at the applause of the opposition

Your twice the fool and half the liar and they're on to you

I say nothing to prove they have capacity to

Love anything but themselves

Lost forever are our former selves

Can you show me proof they ever lived

Or are they tainted memories of a wishful mind

That's looking for a reason to forgive

And I keep digging a search for peace

It's just a shell with nothing underneath

But I believe in dinosaurs because I've seen their bones

So maybe buried evidence will tell me what I've always known

If they mean nothing let them go

Between the good and bad I'm stuck with what I know

Lost forever are our former selves

Can you show me proof they ever lived

Or are they tainted memories of a wishful mind

That's looking for a reason to forgive
