05.Imaginary Certainty

from After I Died, I've Never Felt So Alive by Bashful Hips

lyrics

There are worse things than feeling lost
There were times where I didn’t like where I belonged
But I don’t feel that way when you whisper your name into my palm
And the ground we stand on was built upon the imaginary certainty we had created of
A future tense we had only spoken of,
To have it crumble at our feet,
What an exciting way to meet

With a heart bleeding led,
And covered in ferment
You swear that you saw something grow

Well we’ve been told to shut up and stop dreaming
Well I say let’s shut up and start dreaming

So you put your hands to work into the red,
You dug until your face became moss and stone
In a city built on the pond film of greed,
What an overwhelming need I feel to be clean
And I feel the cities energy working against me
And I don’t know how to get it to work for me
Just give me a shovel and a pick
And I’ll dig a tunnel outside of the cities zone

With a heart bleeding led,
And covered in ferment
You swear that you saw something grow

Well we’ve been told to shut up and stop dreaming
Well I say let’s shut up and start dreaming
