40 Thieves - A Loss For Words

Do you ever feel yourself blinded by the neon lights

Hanging on, only to hang on?

You shuffle day to day to be lost up in the fray

And you’re only saving grace is barely saving face

Time goes by and I wonder will we make a stand?

All we want is to make it out alive

Keep our feet in marching time

This is all that we know

And all you want is to meet life’s expectations

It’s all you want and it’s all you’ll ever know

Don’t fall asleep to that lullaby they sing

You hum along intently

This used to be ours

(This used to be ours)

And it can be that great again

We’re just mannequins and models

For the next big thing that they will push on you

Time goes by and I wonder will we make a stand?

All we want is to make it out alive

Keep our feet in marching time

This is all that we know

And all you want is to meet life’s expectations

It’s all you want and it’s all you’ll ever know

Can we make it through this life unscarred?

Do we even want to?

Do we even have a choice?

Did you get what I meant when I said

«We are the Living Dead?»

Maybe the ego is all mine

I pray it’s not all the time

All we want is to make it out alive

All we want is to make it out alive

Keep our feet in marching time

This is all that we know

And all you want is to meet life’s expectations

It’s all you want and it’s all you’ll ever know
