Century After Century — текст песни (Idlewild)

Since your breathing, is it all that a space can fill?
So just by looking in, I`ll be looking still
You find and follow stories well
You`re naked except for a newspaper, the headline telling me
That fortune favours the brave
I`ve been known to be that brave
What I want is on it`s way out
All I needed was an easier way to stay

Walking around the city as the light fades (is it all that you remain?)
I`m thinking about each promise that I have ever made

But I know what they will never say, I know what they will never say
Century after Century they remain

And if I read to remember that the entire Earth is outside this room
So close the windows, keep the curtains shut forever
And if I need to remember that the entire Earth is outside this room
So close the windows, close the windows

Isn`t it romantic, to be romantic
When you don`t understand what you love
Or if a word like that couls ever mean anything
When what you want is on it`s way out
I didn`t hear cheerleading for creative writers
And your cheekbones don`t taste of anything at all
It`s on it`s way out, it`s just an easier way to stay

Talking about a city that the light made (is it all that you remain?)
It`s the same story that`s been told
But it`s been stories that don`t fade

I know what they will never say, I know what they will never say
Century after Century they remain

Is it all that you remain?
