Reasoning With Repetition

The believers, the talkers, the miracle workers

Everybody’s one of a kind, everybody walks line

And they will tell us that one day we’ll all look back and laugh

At what has changed, but what has changed… nothing at all



The faces, the shades, all the plans that become delayed

As everybody choice to stay becomes clearer, and everyday they will say

They know we will do the same, but in this unforgiving life

What’s left here to stay… nothing at all



And they’ll never know just what they could have been…



Our whole lives we slave away, always taught to sing in tune

As if there was anything else but to live for but perfect harmony

What we seek, or so they say, and if we can't have

Then tell me what’s left to work for…nothing at all



The dreamers, they prey so high, as if faith could change a thing

You know it only gets you so far when the ground’s stuck to those knees

And you tell me that there’s some things you would like to change

But if you’re still asleep, tell me what’s it going to be…nothing at all



And we’ll never know just what we could have been…
