Falling Down The Mountain

(album: The Resignation - 2003)

Would you believe
What I said if I shoved it down your throat?
How unusual the lettered backdrop
Do you wonder where you are
The meaning of the words?
Push the plunger, say good-bye
Consent to manufacture, a brand new opposition
It's starting right now

Up and down we spend in all conditions
For many years I played the fool
Looked so deep inside that we can't see
Much too bored to look for

Touch the surface flow and ebb
With nowhere left to go
If I could only live like this
Ideal in its birth, a drunk bewildered herd
Follow the leader, come pin the tail
Caught in misdirection, our spectacle distracts
And it's just the right time

Up and down we spend in all conditions
For many years I played the fool
Looked so deep inside that we can't see
Much too bored to look for

We always say it, we never mean it
If that's enough if that's enough
That's the way it looks and no one's asking why
It's the right time but we don't have the time
Keep it locked down
It's only what your heart would say
We're barely living through it, we're just surviving
I'm so sick of surviving

Up and down we spend in all conditions
For many years I played the fool
But if it's out for deception and still playing cool
Like a piece of the puzzle
We're so quick to salute it now
Much too bored to look for

We didn't say it, we never needed it
If that's enough If that's enough
It's the way we look and no one's asking why
It's the right right time but we don't have the time
Keep it locked down ignoring
What your heart would say
We're barely living through it, too scared to do it
We didn't say it, we never needed it
If that's enough If that's enough
It's the way we look and no one's asking why
It's the right right time but we don't have the time
Keep it locked down ignoring
What your heart would say
We're barely living through it, too scared to do it
We're so sick of surviving
So sick of surviving
