Someday the Fire...

Album: Memory And Humanity (2008)

  • You start working with the same device
    The narrative is breaking down again
    You're standing down the same old asking price
    The cards are drawn, the fire's getting warm

    All work and play, there's nothing left to say
    They wouldn't want it any other way

    Running fast to where the lights are fading
    We make the same mistakes we know we have to face
    Someday the fires will keep on burning
    But today run away, never look behind

    The time it takes to walk home alone
    The pleasure stops keeps weakness from the top of your head
    Servants blockade, informants keep the peace
    The pleasure stops why does it have to stop

    All work and play, there's nothing left to say
    You wouldn't want it any other way

    Running fast to where the lights are fading
    We make the same mistakes we know we have to face
    Someday the fires will keep on burning
    But today run away, never look behind

    The same old picture's running over again
    The same old picture's running over again

    Running fast to where the lights are fading
    We make the same mistakes we know we have to face
    Someday the fires will keep on burning
    But today run away, never look behind

    We make, we make the same mistakes
    But today run away, never look behind
    We make, we make the same mistakes
    But today run away, never look behind
