So build again and tear it down
Stand still, always been the same town
The past is bittersweet to know
Half smiling as I let it go

I predict at the end
Of the day when we are done
No one will remember what
They won their ribbons for
We are chasing daylight
And the moment it creates
Perpetual acknowledgement
Of triumphs and mistakes

No effect from them
Or even certainty of more
Everything you see just now
Is everything in store
These walls were once plain beige
And they will be beige once again
Before that they were something
Else and will be once we've left

The moment is occurring now
In every space and time
In everywhere we've never
Been before we were alive
A story's still projected even
If it's not my own
A simple fact not easily
Swallowed infant or full grown

Standale still is here despite
The fluorescent disguise
And while a story is unfolding
Right before our eyes
Remember it's a chapter
In a story never done
So build again and tear it down,
The song has now been sung
