Placeholders for Flow
The past road has so many holes, we don’t want to look
It tried our souls, the road we took
There are terrible sights burned into our brains
They haunt our nights, on our hearts their stains
we need placeholders for flow, the sights to slow
we need placeholders for flow, so we can grow
We are from the seed that was our past
Behind us we need the die we’re cast
We can inform today with the memories
It is the price to pay for future histories
we need placeholders for flow, the sights to slow
we need placeholders for flow, so we can grow
So downstream we go to places where we learned before
But there are the faces who chill us to our core
To get to the past thing and avoid the fright
Into the stream we bring big cards of white
we need placeholders for flow, the sights to slow
we need placeholders for flow, so we can grow
Our pain retards, freed from the rack
With our white cards, we can look back
