Stripmining Lyrics - James

When the world swallows whole all you've known 

There are no landmarks you can recognise 

Where is the jewel that will never fade 

Will not decay with old age 

Maybe a death, maybe a depression 

Those things you thought you could lean on 

Are suddenly just an impression 

Well, if you put your trust in things of dust 

You're gonna feel the pain of loss

The pain of loss 

When the world swallows whole all you've known 

There are no landmarks you can recognise 

Photos 

We've got no understanding of this body's needs 

We've got no understanding of real philosophy 

We've got no understanding of mortality 

So we keep putting our trust in things that rust 

And then we feel the pain of loss 

Keep putting our trust in things that rust 

And then I feel the pain of loss 

La la la loss
