Barkley: Shut Up and Jam
by Clockwork· from Tea & Backgammon
We are tired of hearing
The same useless anthems
Well, they mean nothing to us
And nothing to you
Hold on to your only fears
Oh well, never mind
Drop the drawbridge
Up ahead
Look around and see
What we have done
And what we have become
What have we become?
Have we reached the end?
Tell me, are we even alive?
We look to each other in chaos
Hoping to find a way to get across
But this casket has been locked up for too long
We must look into ourselves
And see the ways we stare back at them
And learn the things we refuse to shed
Everything is the same;
Everything is so plain;
It's the demons inside of you
Just try. Why try?
Why?
Have we reached the end?
Tell me, are we even alive?
These days all just seem too dark
With no hope in the end
Everyone is gone
And everything has changed
We hold our breath and
Sit up tight
Fear is the only thing that owns us tonight
[DON'T BELIEVE THE WORDS WE SAY]
Don't listen to the words we say
They won't matter any way
[THIS IS THE FINAL LINE OF OUR LIVES]
