Wait - Illuminatus

As you secretly plan your escape

From you world without fences that you fought so hard to defend

You watch the highway below

The silent breadlines of civilised men

As you cling to the edge of a dead Monday

Every town looks the same

It’s just the streets that have different names

It’s the infinite sadness of parallel lines

It’s the shade in your eyes

We’re not meant to be living this way

You watch as they dance to the pulse of a clock

With those ignorant faces that they lie so much to protect

But these are all broken men

Their eyes are extinguished, their dreams became lies

And you cling to the edge of a dead Monday

Every street looks the same

It’s just the towns that have different names

It’s the infinite sadness of parallel lines

It’s the shade in your eyes

We’re not meant to be living this way
