lyrics

It isn’t long before you’re looking down on the city from the same vantage point in your memories. The rain makes a pattering sound as it hits the ground.

In your new memories, the city is clean and vibrant, populated by humans and their metal companions. Now, the city is in ruins.

You make your way down the cliffs to the outskirts and pick your way through the cracked streets.

You stop, truly seeing it for the first time in the present. Green is everywhere, a wonder to behold, more than you’ve ever seen in the wasteland. Green things have spilled from the parks and boulevards into the streets, sidewalks and buildings.

Even for all the city’s verdant wonder, you can’t help feeling that you’re being watched. Lights and sounds come from ruined machines. Where is the power coming from?

The sound of static follows you wherever you go. A picture of a man walking flickers fitfully as a voice urges you to “cross.” Letters adorn the sides of buildings and all manner of signs. You can read the writing. You have never seen it before.

Who lived here? And what is left?
