I’d recognize December anywhere,
but somehow I had the wrong year,
like nothing ever happened,
like it was yesterday-
this lightning bolt that started
a forever ago.

And I’m tired;
It’s gonna be a long while.
I’m done,
but we carry on.

Talkin’, talkin’, talkin’, we don’t
wanna hear no more. We keep
hoping we are talking towards
what we’re aiming for,

when I didn’t move, but the walls and the roof
fell down at my feet.
The sign posts blew away with the tumble weeds.
Maybe all my fight just helped the wrong team.
I think we won and lost ‘til gone
was everything.

I’m standing and lying and climbing and dying
where I’ve always known,
but I cannot find my home-

I guess the captains steered towards the ground;
I guess the crews threw a mutiny.
And everybody’s been betrayed now-
Lonely in our mutual disease.

And I’ve lost my
language and my words;
You’ve lost your
beliefs’ very terms.

‘Cuz you didn’t move, but the walls and the roof
fell down at your feet.
The sign posts blew away with
the tumble weeds.
Maybe all your fight just helped
the wrong team.
I think we won and lost ‘til gone was
everything.

You’re standing and lying and climbing and dying
where you’ve always known,
but you cannot find
(your home)

Talkin’, talkin’, talkin,
lost our language and words.
Talkin’, talkin’, talkin’,
lost beliefs’ very terms.
Talkin’, talkin’, lonely
in our mutual disease.
Hoping we are talkin’ back
everything.

We didn’t move, but the walls and the roof
fell down at our feet.
The city blew away with the tumbleweeds,
‘til there’s just bricks, panels, mortar,
you and me

standing and lying and climbing and crying
as history goes,
joining to build this home.
