Gone

Gone are all of the forests
Gone are all of the trees
Gone are all my grandparents
They were young, they were old and now they’re free

Gone are all of the sparrows
Gone from the telephone wire
Gone is your baby brother
And in the morning you will wake and you’ll find peace

You can run, but you can’t hide from
The train who’ll kill your first born children

Gone are the advertisements
Gone are all the fast foods
Gone are the misconceptions
That you had any right or any chance to choose

Gone is all of the money
Gone are all of your shoes
Gone is all of your shelter
You are free now, you have nothing left to lose

You can run, but you can’t hide from
The train who’ll kill your first born children
I’m not sure why you’ve been searching
Because it’s unclear what is lurking
When you're gone

No one know when you’re gone
She don’t even know
He don’t even know
No one knows where you will go when you’re gone

Gone is all of the land
Gone is all of the sea
Gone are all our fore fathers
Gone is them, gone is those, gone is we
