lyrics

I started thinking a lot
About what happens to us all when we're gone
I couldn't understand

My grandmother is buried underneath
that hill in the pouring sun
A list of loves ones lies next to her
and she is visited by everyone

My grandfather, well
no one really knows where he ended up
In some cold corridor,
never visited and only sung of

As a lesson to the rest

I started thinking a lot
about what happens to us all when we're gone
I couldn't understand

Our histories are buried somewhere
that they would rather not
let us uncover for ourselves
so they can feed us greater lies and lesser hells

But it's not what we deserve

I started thinking a lot
about what happens to us all when we're gone
I couldn't understand

How can we exist?
How can we persist?
How can we go on when we treat each other like this?

And there's two graves
In two different names
