Rainy Day Parade

(álbum: The Illusion Of Progress - 2008)

You the great pretenders, blood to paint your pictures
While you're stepping over fallen people lying in the streets
You the great offenders, only your views matter
While your heart grows colder, I wish that you could open up and feel

For a while see if you can take it
Feel, you're alive and this is all part of it
Feel, could it be that we're all afraid
'Cause it feels like a rainy-day parade

We the great believers, blood is legal tender
And I will not surrender what it was our fathers died to bear
We the people stated, not negotiated
Just to be forgotten, I wish that you could open up and see

For a while see if you can take it
See, you're alive and this is all part of it
See, can't you see that we're all afraid
'Cause it seems like a rainy-day parade

What I see is all too real
What I need is what you steal
And all I reap is what you take
Upon my back on which you break
And I just wish that we could rise above and feel

For a while see if you can take it
Feel, you're alive and this is all part of it
Feel could it be that we're all afraid
'Cause it feels like a rainy-day parade
