about

Sometimes you get exactly what you want. Only to find out it is no better than before

lyrics

So we argued through the night
Til the dawn became the day
On a search for inspiration through this never ending haze
You said that they'd be better
But they're pretty much the same
Swapped the promises and handshakes
For the bullshit of the day
We're sick to death of soundbites
and tired of the lies
its hard to make your mind up
when your given just one side

so wake up

Im calling out your name
and your falling into line
its the times we could have saved
if we only had the time
the man who took his chances is the man who gets shot down
now we only see his weakness
where once he stood so proud
now we're calling out the neighbours
and calling out the sky
and theres something in the water
and a glint upon your eye

so wake up

Hey - we're fighting the world again
Its just like we started it
and ended now

wait theres something wrong up ahead
this feeling is out of step
with what we found

i know its next to nothing
but nothings all we've got
the fear is so much greater
than we could have ever thought
the wolves are getting closer
but we'll hold them off tonight
while tomorrow is a new day
we'll be alright
