Drones
(专辑: The Sufferer & The Witness - 2006)
Deep inside these burning buildings Voices die to be heard Years we spent teaching a
lesson We ourselves had never learned And if strength is born from heartbreak Then mountains I
could move And if walls could speak I'd pray That they would tell me what to do If you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by. Forget my name and I'll forget it too. Failed attempts at living simple lives, simple lives Are what keep me coming back to you. No signs of life here, save the
embers, the
occasional flame, We'd know the
way but can't remember, conception to the
grave, Shout confessions from the
greatest heights, where no one can hear, All my fears, my insecurities are falling like tears. If you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by. Forget my name and I'll forget it too. Failed attempts at living simple lives, simple lives Are what keep me coming back to you. The
drones all slave away, they're working overtime, They serve a
faceless queen, they never question why. Disciples of a
God, that neither lives nor breathes, (I won't come back!) But we have bills to pay, yeah we have mouths to feed! (I won't come back!) I
won't come back! And if you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by. Forget my name and I'll forget it too. Failed attempts at living simple lives, simple lives Are what keep me coming back to you. I'm coming back to you
