Always the Lonely One

Our lives merge into a constant
As they fire up the world
Their minds keep up with the pace of
What they feel they deserve
All the lies and the rules and the reason
They keep a track of the time that you’re leaving
They’re hypnotising, the form and the measure
When distraction is your only pleasure
And all I’ve ever done
Is to say that we were wrong
Isn’t it time
To put it all to rest
And to adhere the song?
Put the fear behind us
Carrying on
Claiming you were the best
So they won’t realise
That you’ve been
The lonely one
Check in, they’ll only let you work
Until your hour comes around
All the lies and the rules and the reason
They keep a track of the time that you’re leaving
They’re hypnotising, the form and the measure
When distraction is your only pleasure
And all I’ve ever done
Is to say that we were wrong
(x2) Isn’t it time
To put it all to rest
And to adhere the song?
Put the fear behind us
Carrying on
Claiming you were the best
So they won’t realise
That you’ve been
The lonely one
Realise
That you’ve been
The lonely one
(x4) Always the lonely one
All the lies they will fall upon yourself
Always the lonely one
