(History, memories) (Can't you see them now?) (Mystery, misery) (Lonely streets worn) There are hollow eyes staring back Through the curtains, the ties And yet it's slack There are sorrowed cries through the black Through the mirror of echoes And yet it's cracked Hearts once beating to their bitter bend The silence rings to their severed ends And now their History Once crowded lost it's shadow Memories Collecting dust like their home Meant nothing Now buried in the embers Everything The elements took over There are graveyards of the past Through the capsules of time And yet it's trashed Before nothing's heard spirits basked Though reflected, their lives It does not last The bustle now drained of colour The shattered splinters now turned grey They weep into the darkness Leaving nothing else but decay And all that could remain is History Once crowded lost it's shadow Memories Collecting dust like their home Meant nothing Now buried in the embers Everything The elements took over Who can remember before the broken? What would make them appear? Did they lock their doors that day? Did they evacuate? Did they know their life would never be the same? Was it explained? Is this home? And their History Once crowded lost it's shadow Memories Collecting dust like their home Meant nothing Now buried in the embers Everything The elements took over Mystery The pavements now a photo Not a street The earth claimed it as it's own Misery Seeps out like dying rivers Now complete The elements took over
