Looking back on the days of old
Come in for the night, hang your coat up and get warm
By the fire roasting
Raising glasses toasting
A job well done
Another trip around the sun
The cabin's lit up
There's a blizzard outside, but the logs are split up
Before we were here there was nothing
Looking back at the way things used to be
I am a dweller of time and space
And I happen to inhabit this place
A footprint stamps the ground
Where civilization stumbled around
Randomly fell and landed
Then got up and left us here stranded
All the birds have flown away
To some far away place
Before we were here there was nothing
Looking back at the way things used to be
I am a dweller of time and space
And I happen to inhabit this place
Like a drop into the stillness
Disrupted by outward rings that ripple
Like a shot of gunfire in the night
Displaced you
Miles away from where you came
Never wanted this to happen
Never meant for it to be this way
I am a product of my own existence
And it don't come without consequences
The wilderness is calling back her children
These trees they don't forget
They've been waiting for the chance to
Overgrow the earth
A slow act of reclamation
Overgrow now worthless fortunes
Rooted deep in cities vacant
Before we were here there was nothing
Looking back at the way things used to be
I am a dweller of time and space
And I happen to inhabit this place
