lyrics

We can’t get away from here
We can’t seem to face the fear of a world beyond
We are frozen into place
Shaking, trembling, in disgrace, our hearts forgone

Shake the feeling of a fool
One who drivels on the gruel from a spitting rag
Carry on through single lanes
Dodging, squirming, all in vain, another red flag

Do not bother with a smile
If it’s not in your profile of a human being
The dance is what we make of it
Swaying, moving, then submit, instead of fleeing

We think we’ve given it our best
We can’t keep our manifest on our fingertips
The sun has set another day
Burning, showing us the way, keeping in its grips

Should we all go back now?
Are we going to take a bow?
We are not the same, yet unchanged, anyhow

Who are we going to believe?
We’ve got nothing up our sleeves
There’s nothing left, there’s no reprieve
Are we really done, are we always going to be that
afraid to leave?
