Flies On The Sun
Reflections on Lost Memories: Flies on the Sun
Lyrics
You used to live up in this city of stone
You used to reside in this city made of stone
Used to wake, dream of the places you'd go
You used to wake up, envisioning the places you'd visit
Memory won't help you along
Memory is insufficient to guide you forward
Every home, first you're there, now you're gone
In every home, initially present, but now absent
Time is a walk
Time is a journey
Time is a weapon that had us all clocked
Time is a powerful force that deceived us all
Flies on the sun, lying there
Flies on the sun, lying there (suggesting insignificance or decay)
Bring it down, night, black out the capital lights
Dim the lights of the capital, bringing darkness
This place was never your home
This place was never your true home
We're haunting the streets that you own
We wander the streets that were once under your ownership
Now we're gone
Now we have departed
Time is a walk
Time is a journey
Time is a weapon that had us all clocked
Time is a powerful force that deceived us all
Flies on the sun, lying there
Flies on the sun, lying there (suggesting insignificance or decay)
Time is a walk
Time is a journey
Time is a weapon that had us all clocked
Time is a powerful force that deceived us all
Flies on the sun, lying there
Flies on the sun, lying there (suggesting insignificance or decay)
Flies on the sun, lying there
Flies on the sun, lying there (reiteration)
Flies on the sun
Flies on the sun (emphasizing insignificance or decay)
Oh, you used to love
You once had love
Here and gone
Here and gone, transient
Up in this house
In this house
Memory home
Memory home (repetition, emphasizing the significance of memory)
Memory home
-Memory home
-Memory home
Memory home (reiteration, underscoring the importance of memory)
