What It Will Be Like Before I Was Born Lyrics

Leaves are rustling in the west of me

I'm trying to breathe into the rest of me

This thing is trying to get the best of me

But what am I? Let it take me, whatever I am

Alarm bells are ringing in my spacesuit

Is my skeleton trying to get out

Am I surrendering my structure

Is that what this is all about

I saw a movie of a street scene

More than 100 years ago

Everyone was on their way to someplace

Everybody had somewhere to go

Archaeologists will find our artifacts

They'll find a server in the rust

They will smirk at our ephemera

After all of us are dust

Shh!

I think I'm picking up a signal

There's interference in the way

I can feel the static on the waveform

I'm looking for a way to flip the phase

And when the phase is flipped it cancels

And when it cancels there's a hush

But the hush is temporary

The static always comes back in a rush

I saw a movie of a street scene

More than 100 years ago

Everyone was on their way to someplace

Everybody had somewhere to go

Archaeologists will find our artifacts

They'll find a server in the rust

They will smirk at our ephemera

After all of us are dust

If I close my eyes and hold my breath

Till the shooting stars start to explode in my head

I can see what it will be like before I was born

And remember how it was after I'm dead
