lyrics
He walks the same habitual tunnels everyday
He knows exactly when to catch the morning train
He can get to work on time without his brain
Cause’ it’s the same old same old day after day
It’s easy to lose focus
It’s easy to lament
Hordes of faceless floating on the river of steps
Places to go
People to meet
Souls floating flying on this people mountain people sea
Some lives are made but most are lost
In underground mazes souls trampled in dust
It’s dig or be buried in this people mountain
It’s sink or swim in the people sea
Sometimes he wishes he’d be doing more
Out there living life instead of the usual bore
He knows he’s only got himself to blame
The crazy world out there awaits it’s not too late
We’re all made with hopes and dreams
Are you becoming who you want to be?
He knows exactly when to catch the morning train
He can get to work on time without his brain
Cause’ it’s the same old same old day after day
It’s easy to lose focus
It’s easy to lament
Hordes of faceless floating on the river of steps
Places to go
People to meet
Souls floating flying on this people mountain people sea
Some lives are made but most are lost
In underground mazes souls trampled in dust
It’s dig or be buried in this people mountain
It’s sink or swim in the people sea
Sometimes he wishes he’d be doing more
Out there living life instead of the usual bore
He knows he’s only got himself to blame
The crazy world out there awaits it’s not too late
We’re all made with hopes and dreams
Are you becoming who you want to be?
