And so plans were laid, I don't know whose were best.
Were we the mice? Because they seem to think they're the men.
They hold the power but I'm sure we have the will.
It only struck me now, something could be born.
We've spent so long down on our knees
Being told we should be grateful.
We've spent so long digging holes
Trying hard not to be hate-filled.
We've been down too long. Is it ambiguous right where it should be plain?
It only needs a tiny spark to fuel and make a flickering flame.
They sow a seed of doubt, you have to make a choice.
There has been silence, now it's time to raise your voice.
We've spent so long down on our knees
Being told we should be grateful.
We've spent so long digging holes
Trying hard not to be hate-filled.

Everyday Lifetime

All the pieces that we recollect, so clear on their own reflect
The fragile grasp we have upon the whole.
So stop me if you disagree,
But aren't we tired of thinking cynically,
When naivety just seems to be more fun?
Every day we cross the same roads.
Every day another door is closed.
Every day feels like a lifetime.
As you notice that the leaves have turned,
There's a coldness in the air
That yearns to take the Summer that we never had.
I'll admit to you I'm terrified, when I'm told everybody lies,
Still the smile on my lips can be traced back to you.
Every day we cross the same roads.
Every day another door is closed.
Every day feels like a lifetime.

I don't know where, where I'm going wrong.
If I could stop, I'd still carry on.
I don't know who, who I am these days.
I can't see why I'm bothered anyway.
There's no point in pretending,
What's the point in pretending?
There's no point in pretending,
What's the point?
It's no use to you and it won't help me.
I don't know how, how I got to here.
Is that the time, is that really the year?
I don't know when, when my time will end.
Uncertainty is my closest friend.
Here I stand before you, all defences down.
If you can't accept that I guess won't see you around.
I wanna see you around,
But there's no point in pretending.
There's no point in pretending,
What's the point in pretending?
There's no point in pretending,
What's the point?
It's no use to you and it won't help me.
