(Verse 1)

In this crowded concrete jungle

Where dreams go to die

I stumbled upon something humble

With a story to imply


(Chorus)

Oh, the garbage we discard

Is a portrait of our lives

The stories left untold

In the things we cast aside


(Verse 2)

Faded photographs and letters
Underneath the cluttered debris

Whispering tales that were once better

Now longing for someone to set them free


(Chorus)

Oh, the garbage we discard

Is a portrait of our lives

The stories left untold

In the things we cast aside


(Bridge)

And I sift through these treasures

Amongst the bags of waste

Finding beauty in the measures
Of the forgotten, misplaced


(Verse 3)

Discarded love, broken hopes

Hidden in the bins of despair

In this landfill of discarded ropes

I find inspiration everywhere


(Chorus)

Oh, the garbage we discard

Is a portrait of our lives

The stories left untold

In the things we cast aside


(Outro)
So let's dig through the trash together

Uncover tales of loves and fears

For amidst the cluttered clutter

There's a symphony of forgotten years
