They Built The Future

In evenings of duress
you can see
in days behind you
less warp more weft
they’re not the same thing
they’re not the same thing after all
 
killing time between the scenes
six whole years in quarantine
 
they built the future without us
they built the future without us
 
and in the slipstream
we agree on the same dream
that’s the way it goes, all the time
and then we’re waiting for the right time, no time
that’s the way it goes
that’s the way of the stitches, the city of casualties
 
killing time between the scenes
six whole years in quarantine
 
they built the future without us
they built the future without us
they built the future without us
they built the future without us
