Lyrics

[00:35.11] You open your eyes, look around
[00:40.98] You feel the earth it wanders -
[00:43.92] Out, from under your feet - the ground
[00:49.46] Is not firm but soft and weak - like skin
[00:55.68] Under the touch, cannot stop to falter
[01:00.80] Now, the damage is done the certainties gone
[01:07.43] The spirits altered
[01:09.50]
[01:09.93] And now the angry morning
[01:12.65] Gives the early signs of warning
[01:16.89] You must face alone the plans you make
[01:22.34] Decisions they will try to break
[01:26.60]
[01:27.14] Our hands are tied on the table
[01:35.21] Maybe you can try at the back door man
[01:43.48] While the helpless line up on the doorsteps
[01:50.24] 'Cause it's all they can do to try to get through
[02:00.48]
[02:03.41] All of your life you've lived in a world as pure
[02:09.40] As Eden's sixth day - now all you've been allowed
[02:14.84] Is taken away - they will not let you be so proud
[02:21.42] And you have felt the fear growing inside
[02:25.88] Protest follows far and wide - they'll see how long
[02:31.54] It will take 'till you fall - from so much denied
[02:37.01]
[02:37.05] Your soul - it aches relentless from the fear
[02:42.26] That they will never guess - so unfair that
[02:46.54] They can make you feel so small
[02:50.58] And the fear you know is real
[02:54.38]
[02:55.15] Our hands are tied on the table
[03:03.05] Maybe you can try at the back door man
[03:11.08] While the helpless line up on the doorsteps
[03:18.84] 'Cause it's all they can do to try to get through
[03:28.27]
[03:46.34] 'Cause it's all they can do to try to get through
[03:56.79]
