ember swift – bliss lyrics
[verse 1]
here is a town called bliss
first thing you’ll see are mobile homes
perched on cinder blocks looking dusty and forlorn
rusted tractors, three+legged mutts
peeling paint and jacked up trucks
boarded up shops, vacant lots
curtains and faces drawn
[chorus]
how could we let it come to this?
this silent scene of emptiness
how could we let it come to this?
this backwards bliss
do you wanna know the answer?
do you wanna know, do you wanna know?
[verse 2]
there was a time when hope
wafted from gardens and chimneys
shafts of light cast on piano keys
living rooms full and singing
but then the mine was shut down
and all the families left town
those church bells stopped ringing
[chorus]
how could we let it come to this?
this silent scene of emptiness
how could we let it come to this?
this backwards bliss
do you wanna know the answer?…
[bridge]
seems like we’re leaving the asking up to somebody else
seems like we’re leaving the asking up to somebody else
[outro]
when they say thou shalt not question
they really mean the corporation
when they say thou shalt not question
they really mean the mining industry
there’s not much left to see
