lyrics

At the start, everything was natural
But it's natural that everything should change.
When first we came upon this ourselves, our eyes were full and bright,
what would we have seen, if we could see long range?

There's this way that we'd get stuck
There's this way that we get stuck on possibilities
and fail to note it as we lay
just basking in natural golden rays
On sunny days inside the boxes that we built with brick and steel
intent on smaller boxes faking all that's real
and feeling all the feelings that we ever could have felt
as we ran along the data banks that dealers went and dealt

In the end, I don't believe it's so bad,
No it's just the way that things must go.
Rome fell once, and so has every empire since that day,
so of course history does show
