Oh, we searched for the poison blossom
And we embraced in a smoke cloud
When I knew you'd appreciate it
Your face went pale, so we slowly paced
To the comfort of tales of our favourite places
The crowd just kept on running
If I met you today, I don't know what I'd show to you
If you just went away, would I learn the things I never knew
That you kept from my view
There's a siren cry through the neighbourhood
It's just a wagon weighed down with all we could
And it won't hide its discomfort
Well, if the aim is to change what you can't accept
Until a fading memory is all that's left
Then, with swords drawn, I'll show I love you
If I met you today, I don't know what I'd show to you
If you just went away, would I learn the things I never knew
If the world's in flames, what do we bury to protect
What's the cost
What's lost with all the names we forgot
