One Way Out

Take me to a place where you know will never go

Somewhere that we've all been before or we've been told

And all you see there are colours deep and old

And the sun is always beating down onto seeds of gold

When you gonna obey a sign and save a life?

How you gonna roll back the time you've sacrificed?

Will you just keep getting higher when the only ones who'll save us

Are being told to cross the line?

There's only one way out

And it's here and now

Can't we figure out:

If the sun goes down

Then our time runs out

Look around - it's fading

Hold on say you dare

Pretend you cannot see the embers that have filled the air

Whistle in the echo sing a little song

Try to hide your fear of what's really going on

These are the letters of a thousand hopeless eyes

Who see a world that's burning when they fall asleep at night

Will you just keep screaming "liar"?

They may have sunk their teeth in but it's you who twists the knife

Is it hard to see?

When they bleed we bleed

When it's all in greed

Is that all we'll ever be?

A thought a seed?

What could have been

There's only one way out

And it's here and now

Can't we figure out

When the sun goes down

Then our time's run out

Look around

Don't waste it
