Lyrics

Ancient History

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

My dreams keep diggin' up the bones of memories

Discarded remnants of former times

Now every skeleton is slappin' its knees

Laughin' at the holes he left behind

I try

Try to let it fade away

Let it fade away (try)

Let it fade away

But I still hold on

My body's achin' like a knocked down drag out

And my poor heart is an open wound

It's ancient history

That's bleedin' out of me

So what am I supposed to do?

I try

Try to let it fade away

Let it fade away (try)

Let it fade away

But I still hold on

Oooh-oooh

Oooh-oooh

Oooh-oooh

Oooh-oooh

Let it fade away

Let it fade away

Let it fade away

Oh, I let it fade away
