about

Recorded in 2008 during Connections 12 month stint in Germany.

lyrics

I look in your eyes and I see nothing but fear
You want me to believe that your words are clear

Line after line you follow their lead
It gets you some status
Is that all you need?
You want me to feel that your words are truth
It's time to get real
They have no use
You try so hard to stand out from the crowd
You lose yourself while you're screaming so loud
Let's get it clear
Set it straight
There is no message in the words you communicate

I want to know how you can stand so proud for the words you scream so loud
It's a matter of time before they change and your beliefs get rearranged
So don't tell me what's right when you won't swim against the tide
Those words were put into your mouth and then you screamed them like they were from deep inside

I won't waste another breath
Right here right now
It's time to set it straight

I look in your eyes and I see nothing but fear
You want me to believe that your words are clear

Time after time you switch and you change
Don't try to tell me who has stayed the same
I know your kind
It's getting old
When the seasons change a new story is told

Don't tell me who has stayed the same
I won't fall for your words just to watch you change
