The nights in the city were quiet after the nightly searches for those kids
And all the lights in the buildings were silent as the trees surrounded the fifty
People who built their homes here
Around the rocks and the caves and holes here
Around the statues of gods we were never taught whose names are forever lost to time like mine
The lights in the cabin were burned out a couple years after we headed out
And all the furniture was untouched
Covered in dust just waiting for us
There were lots of caves to search in
And lots of days to search for
It would've helped if somebody had knew our names, or maybe not
I hadn't seen a corpse yet
What did I know
And I hadn't been a corpse yet
What did I know
I hadn't seen a corpse yet
What did I know
And I hadn't been a corpse yet
What did I know
And it's been twenty years since the fire lit the space
And twenty years since we watched the lake make waves
A new group climbs down the rock-face
There's something funny about that lake
And then they see our bones resting around a pit of forgotten flames
