Casualties Lyrics

yet another day our view is distorted
deny, fake it and smile
lift your heart and cry

but our voices are mute
eyes see just lifeless debris

yet another day fighting demons
too much is asked from us
hope in vain

fear now what we shout
but in a world that's made for the few
there's room for no one
none of us

and then clocks stop ticking
ceilings pushed higher
shades form no patterns
it's never ending
stuborn tales nesting
ways that stopped shaping
fighting, not winning

can we let go?

this falls down to us
the charade no one sees
because the path, often bleak, keeps us sane
or so we think

but we stay
we bleed
we fight
we kneel

and before the curtain's call
our eyes will meet
and we will know

can't stand this
