I never read Derrida anyway Lyrics

When they tell us

What had led you to the last of letting go

When they talk about it afterwards

I hope part of you knows

That there are us small stragglers here who won't believe the words the bastards say

The strongest chains are what had held you, I hope something got away

When your words fall from the voice that held them

Those behind will pick it up

It'll carry as it's carried

We'll all learn to hold eachother where we must

Or, at least, I hope that some small part of you won't be lost while your memory's getting bought

The strongest chains have bound your name to the paper tiger horrors that are wrought

Let the ones who would sneer and scratch

At all your words

Cry their manufactured tears

Let them pretend they'd ever heard

And let the faith they've held

To faithlessness

Not reach

Let us all one day learn through practice what we teach

While they eulogise the future

While they try to kill the bits of you that you could not

I just wish I had the strength to say

Not every broken shot at future only haunts

And that the beauty everybody holds in common's gonna make us all believe

The strongest chains are what have held us, someday we will all be free.
