Idlewild › Lyrics › Century After Century

Since you're breathing, is it all that a space can fill?
So just by looking in, I'll be looking still
You find and follow stories well

You're naked except for a newspaper
The headline telling me that fortune favors the brave
I've never been known to be that brave

What I want is on it's way out
All I needed was an easier way to stay

Walking around the city as the light fades
Is it all that you remain?
I'm thinking about each promise that I have ever made
I know what they will never say, I know what they will never say
Century after century they remain

And if I need to remember that the entire earth is outside this room
So close the windows and keep the c******* shut forever
And if I need to remember that the entire earth is outside this room
So close the windows, close the windows

Isn't it romantic to be romantic when you don't understand what you love?
Or if a word like that could ever mean anything
When what you want is on it's way out

I didn't hear cheer leading for creative writers
And your cheekbones don't taste of anything at all
It's on it's way out, it's just an easier way to stay

Talking about a city that the light made
Is it all that you remain?
It's the same stories told but it's the stories that don't fade
I know what they will never say, I know what they will never say
Century after century they remain

Is it all that you remain?
Is it all that you remain?
Is it all that you remain?
. . .
