Talking To Ourselves

(album: Nowhere Generation - 2021)

We're waiting for something to happen
But nothing is snapping us out of this trance
And our eyelids are heavy and soon we're all ready
To obey every single command

But I feel lost, no map in front of me
And I don't know which way is up
Wishing we could just hit pause
Just enough to breathe
(Oh why can't I shake you awake from this dream?)

I never wanted to disturb the peace
But it feels like no one's listening
Are we talking to ourselves?
Are we just talking to ourselves?

So good at speaking out of turn
And talking back I have some nerve
If I said this all to your face
Forgive me, sometimes I forget my place

So what's it gonna be?
Will you dig in or give up?
Lean in or just get lost?
Drift away from here
This demands your attention
So hear me when I say

I never wanted to disturb the peace
But it feels like no one's listening
Are we talking to ourselves?
Are we just talking to ourselves?

What are we trying to say?

And tell me what would it take
To pry open their eyes?
I would wade in the water
I'll stand in the fire
I am not afraid

And I would break down the door
If you give me the sign
For the chance to be yours
I would lay down my life
I am not afraid

I swear I never wanted to disturb the peace
But it feels like no one's listening
Are we talking to ourselves?
Yeah are we talking to ourselves?
