Ice Nine Kills
So This is My Future (Re-Shadowed and Re-Recorded)
[Verse 1: Justin "JD" DeBlieck, Spencer Charnas]
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
[Chorus: Spencer Charnas]
Lost forever are our former selves
Can you show me proof they ever lived?
Or arе they tainted memoriеs of a wishful mind?
That's looking for a reason to forgive
[Verse 2: Justin "JD" DeBlieck, Spencer Charnas, Both]
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
[Chorus: Spencer Charnas]
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
[Breakdown: Justin "JD" DeBlieck, Spencer Charnas]
And I keep digging, a search for peace
It's just a shell with nothing underneath
And I keep digging, a search for peace
(But I believe in dinosaurs because I've seen their bones)
It's just a shell with nothing underneath
(So maybe buried evidence will tell me what I've always known)
If they mean nothing, let them go
Between the good and bad I'm stuck with what I know
[Chorus: Spencer Charnas]
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
