Is it overreaction
when everyone acts that way
does it lead to distraction
when everyone is the same
a simple night at home
relaxing with family
game night and puzzle time
what’s that you just said to me
at night as the anger grows
I’ll pay you back you’ll see
bringing the hammer down
I won’t even hear your pleas
they had this friend they knew
who owned lots of games they played
he liked his collectables
he seemed easy to betray
they wanted to sell his stuff
they had lots of debts to pay
they buried him in concrete
and sold all his stuff away
Its hard to imagine how
these things happen every day
the people you’re closest too
will just throw your life away
there’s no sense of right and wrong
there’s nothing that they can say
there’s evil everywhere
its always been that way

Verse 1 & 3
Its been some years since we met
so long ago it was
the overwhelming regret
hold your applause
Chorus
if the sun and the moon both refused to rise
would you think it was part of some bad joke
If the day and the night were both turned around
would you want to be in on it
Verse 2
I trust your word on all things
I know you’re good for me
and what the future may bring
we’re up to it

chorus
It looks like I offended you
That wasn’t what I set out to do
but when we get down to it
I don’t really care
Just doesn’t matter
Just don’t care
I don’t care at all
I just don’t care
verse 1
you say
I’ve got it wrong
you say
you knew all along
you know
the way it works
you know
all the right words
Verse 2
you think
that I care at all
you think
that I’m being small
I think
you waste my time
I think
that’s well and fine
outtro
I say what I feel
I say what I mean
If you Don’t like it
Don’t listen

Verse 1
you can’t hide from it, you’re neck deep
you gave in to it, sad little sheep
no credibility, no one believes
no one will stand with you, everyone will leave
you can blame the rest of them but
we know the truth
you sold us out and we’re
coming for you
Chorus
You can blame the rest of them but
we know the truth
There is no coming back for you
verse 2
we stood up to him, you lied down
you defended him, gave him his crown
everything we once stood for, under your boot
there’s no denying it, you are his clown
there’s no escaping this
you are his pawn
there’s no way out for you
you crocked con

It was a lifetime ago
We had it all In The Palm of our hands
We knew all there was to know
We were the best of the bands
There came a day when it all went to pieces
We never really knew why
Hard to take as the return decreases
No longer made sense to try
Something like this always happens to me
All right there but somehow I never see

that’s the way
It’s got to be
a lifetime
of you and me
last forever
seems a breeze
get through whatever
you will see
You and I
Can see it through
with a love
that’s always true

They say that you can’t win
They say that there’s no chance
They say that it’s a lost cause
They say you can’t advance
verse 1
radical ideas
against the status quo
change the way we do things
the system moves too slow
verse 2
they’re too big to fail
they will put up a fight
stand against the mainstream
stand for what’s right
middle 8
there’s always hope for the underdog
There’s always room for new ways
there’s always people who can go that far
who cares what others say

Verse
Feel the wind, breath the air
Tidal pull, Take me there
Destiny calling me
Full redeem , Pacific dream
Chorus
Feel the pull it is calling me
Drawing me away to the western sea
Needing to go back to feel it all again
Needing to return when can we begin
Go west young man, go west young man
Take me back oh please take me back

windows shaking
trees breaking
storm has come to take us away
batten down
find safety
ride it out or be blown away
she’s coming now
she’s coming now
she has arrived
she’s here now
