lyrics
Did we ever even dream?
I can’t remember. I don’t know
How or when or where
We used to scream,
Although,
I know we did. Yes.
Did we ever really feel?
I can remember a book
Stuffed full of cinéma
Tickets, receipts,
Illusions,
Deceits.
I know we tried. Yes,
I know we did.
Did we ever try to fight?
I feel that no-one
Knows: the eyes
That I see: empty,
Empty,
Empty.
I know we walked. Yes,
I know we did.
I know we did.
And I remember that walk:
The snow,
The banners,
The chants,
The screams,
The mass,
The walls
Of neon,
The stand,
The fall,
The hope,
The chaos,
The despair.
And I remember
Clutching at a cigarette,
And a placard, my coat
Draped around me,
Feeling damned, lost, and dead.
