Axel Mansoor - Our Past Lives Lyrics

Lyrics Our Past Lives - Axel Mansoor



We are 44 people from 44 homes
And this story recounts what 43 others know
How the strangest people can become familiar faces
From heaven to hell, we've conquered all those places
They say that
With the blink of an eye
It all passes bye
So as we open our eyes
The time has come to say goodbye
We started off as new freshman meeting,
And we all tried out the same standard greetings
Cautious small talk produced relieving laughter
An unlikely bond grew from then and thereafter
For various reasons, we soon were compelled
To drink and/or smoke the nights away
Some nights were dreamlike while the others a nightmare
But we always stayed true, and would jokingly say
They say that
With the blink of an eye
It all passes by
So as we open our eyes
The time has come to say goodbye
To our past lives
Water flows freely, but it's not from the piping
The future is here and its so very frightening
As people depart, the building goes cold
Devoid of the hearts which once made it glow
What's a home without your family?
Its empty concrete geometry
They say that
With the blink of an eye
It all passes by
So as we open our eyes
The time has come to say goodbye
They say that
With the blink of an eye
It all passes by
And as we open our eyes
The time has come to say goodbye
To our past lives
Our past lives
Our past lives
