As far as long as I could see,
Normality had all control,
Soaking up empathy,
This innocence was lost a long time ago
As the vice grip squeezes
We’ve been dry feeding
World driven
World hidden
Pinning up empty dreams,
Pictures of time spent in the sun,
Changes come easily
But happen to others more than some
As the vice grips squeezes
We’ve been dry feeding
World driven
World hidden
Slowly waking dreaming always fades
Tired eyes may open all too late
Failure to change eats you up inside
Let the future take control of I
This life is ordinary
These lies are out of control
Black is the beyond though
Darker is a day on earth
Some lives grow out of time
I will be left behind
As the vice grip squeezes
We’ve been dry feeding
World driven
World hidden
I’ll be on the road again
Slowly I am going to watch you bend
