Familiar Theme - Somos

How to escape a familiar theme?

An idea you’re at home in

If you’re not careful it could crush you

Like a straight-jacket

I wanna know how to break new ground

Like a long distance runner

My face is contorted into a grimace;

he wears a half smile

That you hate him for

He wears a half smile that you hate him for

We had a strong foundation

But could not pass the test

And a lack of blame is not our problem

It’s been passed around from mouth to mouth like rumors in a broken town

When you watched it rise and fall, you’d forgotten that

What you had is never coming back

What you had is never coming back

I need a window to see out of

I need some time so I can count down

To the day that I could tell you

That I know just where I’m going

I tried to drink from the well but it had dried up

I tried to live off my hands but they’ve been tied up

People sick with ambition, hunting a reputation

To advance their position they will try anything

If their boots on your neck, you should shake fast

Glue your eyes to the floor, push a fake laugh

Keep your head down, but keep your eyes wide

To the floor, keep your head down

What you had is never coming back

What you had is never coming back

I need a window to see out of

I need some time so I can count down

To the day that I could tell you

That I know just where I’m going

What you had is never coming back

Looking back to a simpler time

What you had is never coming back

Familiar faces you can recognize

I need a window to see out of

I need some time so I can count down

To the day that I could tell you

That I know just where I’m going

All you want is a simpler time

Familiar faces you can recognize

All you want is a simpler time

Familiar faces you can recognize
