Somos - Familiar Theme lyrics

How to escape a familiar theme? An idea you're at home in If you're not careful it could crush you Like a straight-jacket I wanna know how to break new ground Like a long distance runner My face is contorted into a grimace; he wears a half smile That you hate him for He wears a half smile that you hate him for We had a strong foundation But could not pa** the test And a lack of blame is not our problem It's been pa**ed around from mouth to mouth like rumors in a broken town When you watched it rise and fall, you'd forgotten that What you had is never coming back What you had is never coming back I need a window to see out of I need some time so I can count down To the day that I could tell you That I know just where I'm going I tried to drink from the well but it had dried up I tried to live off my hands but they've been tied up People sick with ambition, hunting a reputation To advance their position they will try anything If their boots on your neck, you should shake fast Glue your eyes to the floor, push a fake laugh Keep your head down, but keep your eyes wide To the floor, keep your head down What you had is never coming back What you had is never coming back I need a window to see out of I need some time so I can count down To the day that I could tell you That I know just where I'm going What you had is never coming back Looking back to a simpler time What you had is never coming back Familiar faces you can recognize I need a window to see out of I need some time so I can count down To the day that I could tell you That I know just where I'm going All you want is a simpler time Familiar faces you can recognize All you want is a simpler time Familiar faces you can recognize
