Century After Century

Since your breathing, is it all that a space can fill?

So just by looking in, I'll be looking still

You find and follow stories well

You're naked except for a newspaper, the headline telling me

That fortune favours the brave

I've been known to be that brave

What I want is on it's way out

All I needed was an easier way to stay

Walking around the city as the light fades (is it all that you remain?)

I'm thinking about each promise that I have ever made

But I know what they will never say, I know what they will never say

Century after Century they remain

And if I read to remember that the entire Earth is outside this room

So close the windows, keep the curtains shut forever

And if I need to remember that the entire Earth is outside this room

So close the windows, close the windows

Isn't it romantic, to be romantic

When you don't understand what you love

Or if a word like that couls ever mean anything

When what you want is on it's way out

I didn't hear cheerleading for creative writers

And your cheekbones don't taste of anything at all

It's on it's way out, it's just an easier way to stay

Talking about a city that the light made (is it all that you remain?)

It's the same story that's been told

But it's been stories that don't fade

I know what they will never say, I know what they will never say

Century after Century they remain

Is it all that you remain?
