this song is mostly about the relics of the FE & the historical story of harry goodsir, with a few nods to the show. at this point am i just writing a concept album? WHOOPS
LYRICS:
The relics have been photographed from every angle
The testimony has been taken down
But still we make our way into the dreams of people
Who know that there is still more to be found
And everything that anyone could have done to save us
Has been looked at and examined from all sides
The letters and the photographs, the headstones with their epitaphs
All remind you once we were alive
So build a cairn made of stones
Build a story of your own
Wait until the winter passes and go down down down
Into cold water deep
Where our last memories sleep
And the truth maybe is still floating around
A telescope, a can of food, a pile of canvas
My medicine chest, full of useless cures
Silverware and books of hymns and hundreds of forgotten things
Things that dropped away as it got worse
And nobody can choose how they will be remembered
A little longer, what would I have done?
A garden or a library, a book or an academy
All these futures bleaching in the sun
And my bones when they come home
They won’t speak, they’ll rest alone
They will keep their secrets for a century
But i’d say, if i should
How we did the best we could
And in the end, this place was beautiful to me
The relics have been photographed from every angle
The testimony has been taken down
A poem lasting all these years, the meter’s off, the rhymes aren’t clear
There’s always brand new ways to tell it
There’s no chance you will forget it
That might be enough for now
For now
