How to escape a familiar theme?
An idea you're at home in
If you're not careful it could crush you, like a straitjacket. I wanna know
How to break new ground, like a long distance runner
My face is distorted, into a grimace, he wears a half smile
That you hate him for, he wears a half smile, that you hate him for
We had a strong foundation, but could not pass the test
And a lack of blame is not our problem
It's been passed around from mouth to mouth like rumors in a broken town
When you watched it rise and fall, you'd forgotten that…
What you had, is never coming back
What you had, is never coming back
I need a window to see out of, I need some time so I can count down
To the day that I could tell you, that I know just where I'm going
I tried to drink from the well, but its been dried up
I tried to live off my hands but they've been tied up
People sick with ambition, hunting a reputation
To advance their position, they would try anything
If their boots on your neck you should shake fast
Glue your eyes to the floor push a fake laugh
What you had, is never coming back
What you had is never coming back
I need a window to see out of, I need some time so I can count down
To the day that I could tell you
That I know just where I'm going
What you had is never coming back
(Looking back to a simple time)
What you had is never coming back
(Familiar faces you can recognize)
I need a window to see out of, I need some time so I can count down
To the day that I could tell you, that I know just where I'm going
Looking back to a simpler time, familiar faces you can recognize
