Presidio - Strung Out

Right about the time you finally lost your mind

You saw blood before you ever heard the shot

What was good, what was right

What was just in sight

Is now the only thing that you got

In the end all good never lasted like it should

We sold out every prophet just to show that we could

Now we take and we fight and we think we’re right

Just waiting on what’s coming 'cause we’re told that we should

From the banks of the old presidio

If the day is clear and the light’s just right

You can see where we all fell

Where it all went wrong

Now who is gonna save us now?

And who is better off somehow?

We’ll think of something better

We’ll pull it all together

Now who is gonna save us now?

Everything is fine when you don’t get out of line

The boundaries are beyond anything you’ve defined

Imagine what you got, all you need and what you’re not

You’ve taken what you’ve given and you still got a lot

Gains like these aren’t progress

Everything you’ve been afraid to lose

These beds are burning and graves are turning

Let’s say that we paid our dues

Has everything we’ve lost made it easier

With hearts that murmur, agitate

And remind us of all we were

When we knew who we were

Now who is gonna save us now?

And who is better off somehow?

We’ll think of something better

We’ll pull it all together

Now who is gonna save us now?

The sound of ghosts and the taste of a grey November rain

All washes away in shades too dull to see again

We barely knew ourselves now it’s way too late to change

Like a memory, what we wanna be

A glorious tragedy

Now who is gonna save us now?

And who is better off somehow?

We’ll think of something better

We’ll pull it all together

Now who will come and save us now?
