lyrics

When we gonna start living like there's a hell?
When we gonna tidy up all these loose ends and find someone to tell our secrets?
'Cause we don't have forever

When we gonna get that feeling back?
When we gonna loosen up and let somebody new in on the inside track?
I know you're in pieces, but you'll put yourself together

So lie down Annelise and sleep, these are questions that can keep
'Til we have the morning sun on our side
There's no use plundering so deep, in darkness nothing's as it seems
So pipe down child, and close your blue eyes

When we gonna start living like there's a hell?
When we gonnna see the people in it all around us, and put the shit back on the shelf?
To hear it's never been better is to feel complicit in a lie

When we gonna get the feeling that we've hit our stride,
And hear some magic click that lets us know our intents and our outcomes have aligned?
Never, but we all spend a lifetime trying

So lie down Anthony and sleep, these are questions that can keep
'Til we have the morning sun on our side
There's no use plundering so deep, in darkness nothing's as it seems
So pipe down child, and close your blue eyes
