Left & Right In The Dark

(album: Phrazes For The Young - 2009)

Running in the parking lot, I'm four years old
I am lost, those were the days
The soft murmur of voices in the other room
Comforting you, as you fall asleep

Staring at the mother-daughter clones go by
We're in a race against time
And time might be winning

And it's not gonna take all day long
Watching the urban decay all around us, oh boy
And I'm on my way on somewhere
Feels like I'm going left and right in the dark
How long must we wait, how long must this take?

Wake up

I'm ashamed I think maybe sometimes
I might have used tricks to make you like me more
When I found you I was running wld
Let's get outta here, and let's travel there

I wanna know what are you baby
'Cause I think, I think you don't know

Sliding across the Indian wildnerness
Like the wind gliding down soft roads.
6am and you're in Hollywood
And you're dancing, we made it

We are turning back the Earth so fast
That it feels a lot slower

And it's not gonna take all day long
Watching the urban decay all around us, oh boy
And I'm on my way on somewhere
Feels like I'm going left and right in the dark
How long will it take
To fix what they break

Wake up

Your Achilles heel is you like to feel
Your fingers on the wheel
Some live in a palace some live in the sewer.
The director, the actor,the crew and the viewer.
Boys get their toys and girls get their dolls and
Nothing much gets easier in the final stages

How you're spending the day is the same as your life.
And you're watching the time run away.

Wait up
Wake up
