lyrics

Look the other way
It’s no surprise
The start of our demise
Turning the cheek
Try to relate
Or bear a cursed fate
All that you’d do
Would be for naught
Bad karma’s what you’ve got
A change of heart
Pick up the pace
Or you’ll soon be erased

Roaming around seeking what can’t be found

Open up your arms to skies above
Hoping to soar like a dove
Though you belong down here below
You feel more like a crow

Now and then you’re down and out

Purity of heart
To will one thing
Don’t be led astray
It lies within
Maintain your love
Or just waste away
Look at yourself
And not at them
It only breeds contempt
Better for you
Better for me
For the both of us

Roaming around seeking what can’t be found

Open up your arms to skies above
Hoping to soar like a dove
Though you belong down here below
You feel more like a crow

Now and then you’re down and out

Yet we’re all so set in our old ways
Wondering why we’re led astray
Because old habits are hard to break
When nothing’s at stake

Now that you’re down and out
