Before You Were Born

First the engine cut, then car doors

The garage door and the shoe heels

Then the gate, the dogs and the screen door is alive

And neighborhood kids in hiding places

Fighting with each other's faces

Tearing up the dirt and t-shirts in the yard

Powerlines, star signs constellations

Don't exist as information

But they are all yelling anyway

You can't stand the storm

It's been happening since before you were born

And the fear that folds us over never changes

There are two speeds: Now and never

It's all black and white forever

Will we ever be comfortable? I don't know

Though the fog and war are severed

They are put right back together

If you never say never, it'll never ever ever end

You can't stand the storm

It's been happening since before you were born

Still the fear that folds us over never changes
