Laneways


Brainsick and dumbstruck, it's getting away
Gotta find ourselves some gravity and make an escape
Maybe get some relief, always trying to relax
But once you step off the ledge there ain't no going back

We've been waiting so long that we're running on fumes
These remains of the day, they're like secrets exhumed
We don't know what we're doing, no one ever admits
We're all pushing and shoving just to try and exist

So hold on tight, we'll have to make it through the night
Down these laneways there's a light but it's not coming on anymore

Grasping at meanings with addictions unclear
Every reason unsettled to be miserable here
Though when we stop moving on, there remains an excuse
To forget what's been done and take in some abuse

It's like all that we've worked for has faded away
With no memories to share, only debts to repay
In these burdens we've carried through our years unexplained
There's nothing to show for what was never obtain

So hold on tight, we'll have to make it through the night
Down these laneways there's a light but it's not coming on anymore

Now every time anyone's thinking of you
They never remember the face they once knew
When nothing's realized, it doesn't matter much anymore

It didn't make sense as we ran for the door
With everyone screaming, it was hard to ignore
In time they all sought to reject what was claimed
But we can't turn around to rewrite our mistakes

So hold on tight, we'll have to make it through the night
Down these laneways there's a light but it's not coming on anymore

What have you found? Don't bother looking back around
From these laneways there's a sound but it's not ringing out anymore
It's not ringing out anymore, it's not ringing out anymore
It's not ringing out anymore
