lyrics

3
by virtue of the fact

The old man said to the young man
"We need silence to live by those words;"
"This dance we're dancing is always danced over a void"

Now my main wish, is security,
but in a way, there's never enough of it,
I've built towering walls around you,
to keep the wolf pack outside the door.

And the young man said to the old man,
Looky here at this world in free fall,
It stands on a groundwork of false promises,
A cage, with mirrors instead of windows.

A giant, twisted, only rational, broken clock,

Why I should worry by its failures
this search for easy answers,
the sun don't sets, and we are not the center on anything

Its structure, dreams of self sufficiency,
to be genuine,
but needs human hands to function,
and secretly hates that,
Its heart is a moody alarm bell,
that dreams of sabotage its own work.

a broken clock,
strikes two times the right time.
1
I see only heartache,
I see only pain
if this to be the only path left for me to take.

And I see only heartache,
only hate,
in this godforsaken path
left for me to take.

If there's only one written path left for me to take

"its a tough world for little creatures"
