lyrics

This is the farthest you’ve ever been from yourself
And the truth is that what was is lost to you now
You’re gonna go, I watch you go the way of the dodo

I’m the living record, I’m the work of art

Careful you’re treading on very thin ice – you say the cold below would feel nice
If you wanna go, I watch you go the way of the dodo

I’m the living record, I’m the work of art

That was made by your presence – the shape you made of my heart
Well they’re watching through the glass
They’re wondering but can’t ask – what language are we speaking?
They’re watching through the glass, they’re wondering but can’t ask
What language is reaching beyond death?

This is the closest we’ll ever be again
And when you take your last breath I’m gonna take it in and never let it go

I’m the living record, I’m the work of art
That was made by your presence – the shape you made of my heart
If I fall to pieces when I recall your name – I’m not the same since you left me
But what you left me remains the living record
It stays the living record
I’m the living record, I’m the work of art
