Your arrogance It will surely bring you down Is there a judgement appropriate for you That you spit at others? That you spit at others? Look hard in the mirror then in ten years look again There will be lines, sags and rashes But you’ll have come no further But you’ll have come no further […]
You have always lived like this You have always lived like this The ice blue chill The dark gray sky The frozen ground And the helpless feeling of insignificance You have always lived like this You have always lived like this Yeah The day’s routine The day’s unsure The day is done And the dreams […]
