lyrics

My magic is gone
But I've still got reason
The fire's now nothing more
Than some ashes.
Great kings lie in this season.
You can't illuminate the world
With them matches.

Thieves are on the prowl for
Our hard earned pay while we
Rest from earning our keep.
The breakneck speed and the
Blur of the rat race
We hold our hands to the fire
For heat.

It can all seem like a waste of time.
Head above the water I'm blurring the lines.
What's yours is yours and what's mine is mine.
I paste on the smile, I'm doing fine.

Cradle to the grave, you'd better behave.
Stay in the lines and don't act out.
They tell you to reach for the brass ring,
"It's out of your league, but pantomime for us."
It doesn't mean a god damn thing.
At least we know who cares for us.

Try to keep afloat.
