lyrics

It was that time and that place
Where everything was happening
It was a lost cause, a hopeless case
The distant winds are swirling
And the past and future circle back again
We're doing nothing staring into space
The way we always did

It's a bitter pill, a bitter taste
To watch your world unraveling
A proverbial slap in the face
The distant winds are swirling
And the past and future circle back again
We're doing nothing staring into space
The way we always did
The distant winds are swirling
Past and future circle back again
We're staring into space
And see it's just the way it's always been

And from the eye of the hurricane
The silence here is harkening
To another time, another place
The distant winds are swirling
And the past and future circle back again
We're doing nothing staring into space
The way we always did
The distant winds are swirling
Past and future circle back again
We're staring into space
And see it's just the way it's always been
Another iteration
Comes around and circles back again
Our precious civ'lization tumbles down
The way it always did
The maestro of destruction
Smiles on us and circles back again
The hollow of the vortex swallows us
The way it always did
I look to you, you look to me
To find the kindness of a friend
Amidst the blur of static
Fading us away until the end
The past and future circle back
Into the swirling of the wind
And we're alone together
See it's just the way we've always been
