Lyrics

Verse 1

The past is a sign A sign that never talks You think you've lived But it's chalk on stone

Pre-Chorus

The hose keeps its shape After the pressure leaves The angle holds

Chorus

What passes through does not remain But the material remembers The water left its shape on the stone The stone is the memory

Verse 2

I speak for what came through me And did not stay I am the surface The real thing pressed against

Bridge

The dovetail holds without glue Two surfaces cut to fit The friction is the whole bond

Final Chorus

What passes through does not remain But the material remembers The water left its shape on the stone And I remember everything That pressed against me And passed through

Outro

The angle is enough The friction is enough The shape
