This  is a day  without,  a trace of reason
No  matter  where you turn
And  the walls  will fall,  affirming nothing
So  what's  it all about?
Call  on your brightest  star
Or  play your hand as  endless
wounds  always speak  too loud
Get  along  for a while,  citizen,  you'll see
 How the innocent  are bound  to the damned
What  is,  just is, I know.  So we're trapped  by answers
Love  haunts  to the end
Are  we all  to ride,  the edge of nothing?
 Shaking hands with fighting eyes
 And if they don't know, The heart is stopping
 cos everyone is right
Get  along  for a while,  citizen,  you'll see
 How the innocent  are bound  to the damned
What  is,  just is, I know  So we're trapped  by answers
Love  haunts  to the end
From  the moment  that we're born, till  we're old and tired
do we  ever know  People?
From  the moment  that we're born, till  we're old and tired
do we  ever know  People?
