Chorus Two

One Change coming!

Two Change coming!

One I swear, we can change something.

Three We change nothing.

Two Change is puffing up its chest.

One Change is jumping to its death.

Three Change is running,

One Short of breath,

Two Change is falling.

Three Change is calling on its people,

Two Change’s people are not talking.

One Nothing changes. You walk around the city,

Two Stare at strangers,

One You might notice an expression on a friend you known for ages,

Two But it’s hopeless,

Three We can’t keep each other safe,

One We can barely focus.

Three We just want to live a little,

Two And what’s living if it doesn’t kill you?

Three Every atom in us screams at us to let our hearts out,

One But it’s easier to

Two Pass out

One Than to fall asleep peacefully.

Three If we’re lying to each other, we don’t mean it deceitfully –

Two We’re nothing more than rag and bone,

One We close our eyes

Three And stagger home,

One While the groaning timbers in the windows seem to brag and moan –

Three They say, ‘well, you look older

Two But you haven’t grown.’

One We see our faces slide across the pane,

Three We look away,

One Nothing for it,

Two Bosh your brain to glory,

Three Same old story

One And it shows no sign of

Three Ending.

One Coz there’s a whole night ahead of us,

Two Ours for the befriending,

Three And no matter what our brains beg of us,

One Our hearts are ripe for the tempting.

Three See,

One When you’re sick of being trodden down

Three You reach for your ascension in the nonsense that you swallow down.

Two We just wanna find some

One Substance

Two In this hollow town.

One It doesn’t matter that tomorrow’s round the corner if you’re sorrows drowned tonight,

Two At least that’s something,

One And how can we be blamed when every day’s the same?

Two We just want to lose our names and our edges.

One We just want to lose our minds

Three And lose the lines that draw the borders.

Two The shadows haunt the corners,

Three No one’s gonna laugh at you if no one knows your tortured.

Two We want to change,

One But change aborted becomes strange

Three And we are taunted by the same old repetitions,

Two We grin,

One But our smiles are contorted,

Three And we forget our epiphany

One The minute that we thought it.
