Stripmining

When the world swallows whole all you've known

There are no landmarks you can recognise



Where is the jewel that will never fade

Will not decay with old age



Maybe a death, maybe a depression

Those things you thought you could lean on

Are suddenly just an impression



Well, if you put your trust in things of dust

You're gonna feel the pain of loss



The pain of loss



When the world swallows whole all you've known

There are no landmarks you can recognise



We've got no understanding of this body's needs

We've got no understanding of real philosophy

We've got no understanding of mortality

So we keep putting our trust in things that rust

And then we feel the pain of loss

Keep putting our trust in things that rust

And then i feel the pain of loss



La la la loss
