Song lyrics
Deep inside these burning buildings
Voices die to be heard
Years we spent teaching a lesson
We ourselves have never learned

And if strength is born from heartbreak
Then mountains I could move
And if walls could speak I'd pray
That they would tell me what to do

If you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by
Forget my name and I'll forget it too
Failed attempts at living simple lives, simple lives
Are what keep me coming back to you

No signs of life here, save the embers, the occasional flame
We'd know the way but can't remember, conception to the grave
Shout confessions from the greatest heights, where no one can hear
All my fears, my insecurities are falling like tears

If you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by
Forget my name and I'll forget it too
Failed attempts at living simple lives, simple lives
Are what keep me coming back to you

The drones all slave away, they're working overtime
They serve a faceless queen, they never question why
Disciples of a God that neither lives nor breathes
But we have bills to pay, yeah we have mouths to feed
I won't come back

And if you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by
Forget my name and I'll forget it too
Failed attempts at living simple lives, simple lives
Are what keep me coming back to you

I'm coming back to you

This is a brilliant tribute to the 911 terrorist attacks.. pretty much how everyone works for "the man" n the institution that is life, and in the end they got blown up..

Kind mun_boy, but no terrorists. It's just about following what is called the Mother Culture. To quote The Strength To Go On:
"What we are is the sum of 1000 lies
What we know is almost nothing at all
But we are what we are until the day we die".
