Nevermind Lyrics

The war was lost
The treaty signed
I was not caught
I crossed the line

I was not caught
Though many tried
I live among you
Well disguised

I had to leave
My life behind
I dug some graves
You'll never find

The story's told
With facts and lies
I had a name
But never mind

Never mind
Never mind
The war was lost
The treaty signed

There's truth that lives
And truth that dies
I don't know which
So never mind

...
Your victory
Was so complete
That some among you

Thought to keep
A record of
Our little lives
The clothes we wore

Our spoons our knives
The games of luck
Our soldiers played
The stones we cut

The songs we made
Our law of peace
Which understands
A husband leads

A wife commands
And all of this
Expressions of
The Sweet Indifference

Some call Love
The High Indifference
Some call Fate
But we had Names

More intimate
Names so deep and
Names so true
They're blood to me
They're dust to you
There is no need
That this survive
There's truth that lives

And truth that dies
Never mind
Never mind
I live the life

I left behind

There's truth that lives...
I could not kill
...
The way you kill

I could not hate
I tried I failed
You turned me in
At least you tried

You side with them
Whom you despise
This was your heart
This swarm of flies

This was once your mouth
This bowl of lies
You serve them well
I'm not surprised

You're of their kin
You're of their kind
Never mind
Never mind
...
The story's told
With facts and lies
You own the world
So never mind
Never mind
Never mind
I live the life
I left behind
I live it full
I live it wide
Through layers of time
You can't divide
My woman's here
My children too
Their graves are safe
From ghosts like you
In places deep
With roots entwined
I live the life I left behind
...
