So This Is My Future

If they mean nothing let them go
I can't remember what it feels like on my own

I say nothing to prove
That have capacity to
Love anything but themselves

But I believe in dinosaurs
Because I've seen their bones
Keep digging for the skulls of good intentions
And a selfless corpse that reeks
Of honest efforts to make things work

[Chorus:]
Lost forever are our former selves
Can you show me proof they ever lived?
Or are they tainted memories of a wishful mind
Just looking for a reason to forgive?

If they mean nothing let them go
Are those hands around the shoulders
Or the throat? (Maybe a bit of both)

Try not to cringe at the
Applause of the opposition
You're twice the fool and half the liar
And they're on to you

I say nothing to prove
That have capacity to
Love anything but themselves

[Chorus:]

And I keep digging
A search for peace
It's just a shell with nothing underneath

(But I keep digging)
But I believe in dinosaurs
(A search for peace)
Because I've seen their bones
(It's just a shell with)
So maybe buried evidence
(With nothing underneath)
Will tell me what I've always known

If they mean nothing let them go
Between the good and bad
I'm stuck with what I know

[Chorus:]
