Story let me live
The stars are known and fixed for all children
Story you're a poem
Rush right past the words to the symbol

Who'll memorize us, like the echo and the shadow know?
Who'll leave us better told?
New myth just been born has never felt so old

Story let me die
Get to the garden and leave your body outside
Story sell me same
Sap through the tree running stream
We all know blood and vein

The choir's singing in a language that we don't know
You've never known me better than now
And this newest song sings like the oldest sound

Say my name like it's never been before
Like the oldest book that gets new life with new title
Who'll memorize us, like the echo and the shadow know?
Who'll leave us better told?
New myth just been born has never felt so old
