Lyrics

In the city the commute is a silent train
Full of tired workers. blank stares
Discomfort, and caffeine keep them
Awake. and it seems so sad to me

But it's honorable still. and I wish
Them peace at this pace. it will never
Change. and I think I'm finally over it
These words fall on deaf ears

Everybody's hell looks different
It changes shape but it never goes away
In the suburbs kids are getting high today
Out of boredom. their parents moved here
To feel safe, but they don't match the scenery

Fences work both ways. they keep some out
And they keep some in. it's another day
At this pace. it will never change
And I think I'm finally over it

These words fall on deaf ears
Everybody's hell looks different
It changes shape, but it never goes away
In a classroom there's a child with thoughts
Of death on his mind

In a hospital there's an old man looking
Back on his life. and I wonder why some
People see the beauty, while others see
The pain. entertainment, politics, consumers
Cops, religious tricks..

Ugly, sad, or beautiful. sometimes
It feels so trivial
We need some time. we need some space
We need some help for us to understand
