Straight Lines - Half Gone lyrics

You say that its half gone I say you're not half wrong Just don't take the best of me To all her predictions And all past convictions The truth will not set us free Tick-tock, Tick-tock, Tick-tock, Tick-tock, boom Someday we'll self destruct when we face doom We're drowning our questions While searching for answers Some things are best kept And if we never speak out then you'll never believe me It seems we're all patients To this ideal world Some things are best kept And if we never speak out then you'll never believe me no... No... No... We're looking for our way out And no propositions From higher postitons A promise to change our ways For my father, a farmer Who holds onto karma To bring back better days And I could sing all the songs I like But it won't change a single thing Until this line of the plenty Will have went dry and empty And flush out this only escape Tick-tock, Tick-tock, Tick-tock, Tick-tock, boom Someday we'll self destruct when we face doom We're drowning our questions While searching for answers Some things are best kept And if we never speak out then you'll never believe me It seems we're all patients To this ideal world Some things are best kept And if we never speak out then you'll never believe me no... No... No... And all this aggravation has been blamed on education But I don't think that I don't think that And all these demonstrations led fools with no intentions To change a thing To change a thing Hold your hands high We're drowning our questions While searching for answers Some things are best kept And if we never speak out then you'll never believe me It seems we're all patients To this ideal world Some things are best kept And if we never speak out then you'll never believe me no... How will I know? And how, how will I know?
