Lyrics (unofficial)

[rev. July 6, 2021]

You recognise the handwriting, it was in a cave
The columns and the figures, I wish I could save this world
Why does another single thing have to be killed
You got so much money mister it breaks my heart
All you wanna do is just accumulate

I've been here before
Through that revolving door
I've been here before
Looks like I gotta come back for more

I wish for a moment we could see ourselves
Why do we fuck up every single thing that we touch
I went to the river but the river was dry
I went to the forest but the forest was dead
I went to the graveyard and I saw my own name
Called out to the dead, I said, "Who's to blame"
They said...

We've been here before
Through that revolving door
We've been here before
Looks like we gotta come back for more

I saw a rainbow in the dead of night
A moth ate my clothes so I clothed in light
I drowned in a desert, I went down without a fight
I flew like a kestrel and I fell like a kite
Climbed up to a mountain and I took out a bite
Gave in to one tiny beam, pure and white

I've been here before
Through that revolving door
I've been here before
Looks like I gotta come back for more

Looks like I gotta come back for more
Looks like I gotta come back for more
