kileypet - The Quartet Lyrics

When I was young there was hope in my eyes, I believed someday I'd feel free
While my parents would grieve over how nothing's what it used to be
The years have moved us in the open, hidden, still the same
People living for tomorrow, banking empty days will change
We break our backs to make a livin', 'cause they're just takin' and no givin'
And feeding lies, I'm terrified as darkness closes in
There's nothing we can say or do to make them change their lines
Any seeds of compassion, they were withered as they climbed
There's nothing I can do to save this world still spinning round
But I'll be playing in the quartet as this ship goes down
Take care the way you use your time, the people who you love
You'll lose yourself following the men lurking above
While evil seems charming, it slyly builds an army
It Twists the minds from every side, in everyone we know
Disguises from its sinning, we lose our faith where truth is
And languish in confusion how our friends became our foes
And there's nothing I can say or do to make you change your mind
'Cause every change we choose to take, we realize in time
There's nothing I can do to save this world still spinning round
But I'll be playing in the quartet as this ship goes down
We all live a life, then lose it
We stay lost unless we choose it
So I'll sing the words that pour right out my mouth
I'll be frightened, I'll be crying
I'll be cooing , I'll be rhyming
I'll be fingerpicking til the lights go out
There's nothing I can do to save this world still spinning round
But I'll be playing in the quartet as this ship goes...
