lyrics

I’ve heard it before, or maybe i misheard it once again
The Stories missed and innuendoes
Print edition for the dyslexic
Audio books for the deaf
Braille for the paralyzed
titles for the taking
pages for forgetting

Do you remember the day before
When we hugged and kissed at the door
Do you remember the day before

The day before the lore
When they kicked you to the floor
Do you remember the day before the lore

When it's all written down
It's designed to be religion (revision)
After the photos are taken
It’s already been rewritten
From nightmares to tall tales
From fear to saint
Empty lands/hands full of empty religion

Gutenberg spreads the virus
In the toner, there is pollution
In the eraser, there’s absolution
