lyrics

In these bleak days
It’s good to see your smiling face
Brown eyes make me forget
To stay wrapped up in my own head
If you should find me
All alone, eyes far, far away
I’ll find my way back before too long, so
Just pick me up before you go
We’ve learned never to be
Fully in the present tense
Because to feel what’s there
Might mean to feel all the sorrow and despair
But this isn’t really living
We’re only fending off death
What is there to live for
Ask yourself, what is there to die for?

Time has comet
To decide where you’ll belong
Time is now
To decide between right and wrong
I know it’s hard
To break through the haze and think for yourself
But I know it’s wrong
To stand by and watch as this evil train barrels on

Do you merely want to feel alright
As life crumbles around your ears
Well, I prefer to burn with the honest truth
Know I’m alive when I taste the tears
The next generations
They’re gonna wonder, what the hell were you doing?
When they look back on all we’ve done, and all that we’ve not done
Before turning back to their broken world
So much has been destroyed
But life is still so, so good
And that’s all the reason I need
To die knowing I gave all that I could

Time has come
To decide where you’ll belong
Time is now
To defend that which you love
I know it’s wrong
‘Cause neutrality is complicity
But I know it’s right
To fight like hell against all the evil you see
And I know it’s right
‘Cause I can feel it in my bones
And I know it’s right
‘Cause I can taste it in the wind
And I know it’s right
Because you always get more when you give
And I know it’s right
‘Cause life wants to live
