The brightest of mankind
Are racking their minds
To say what they won't hear
And who knows how long
Before this could go wrong
Let's preach we're in the clear
And oh how I want to feel what it's like
To go far from here and leave no mark behind
But I can't go I cannot close my eyes
It's the only way
To keep living you see
To close your eyes and dance
One more dose of guilt
Before the balance tilts
But they've thrown away our chance
And oh how I want to feel what it's like
To go far from here and leave no mark behind
But I can't go I cannot close my eyes
And I wonder what they'd say after we wasted away
Had been coming for some time but were to stubborn for a change
It's such a crying shame that they let it decay
But now they've gone who's left to blame
