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
You're 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 (And I keep digging, a search for peace)
So maybe buried evidence will tell me what I've always known (It's just a shell with nothing underneath)

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
