The morning comes too early to our damp and dirty suburb
As the rankling thoughts are shaking us awake
Trying to drift away a while into the morning paper
The alternative is more than we can take
Clinging to the fragments of a dream
Without words it soon will be forgotten

[ref]
What have we become?
Our hearts are broken
All words been spoken
What have we become?
Our spirits broken
And our time is running out

The day moves swiftly forward as we’re trying to make a living
A new set of worries thrown into your face
And you’re wondering what you’re doing, where you lost your aspirations
Now you’re old and you are stuck here in this place
Some are born without a dream to chase
Reaching for something that’s not existing

[ref]

The evening passes slowly as we stare into the silence
Every word that’s spoken greeted as a threat
I’m guessing every thought that you are obviously thinking
Based on old mistakes that I could not forget
We search for love that is so hard to find
I can see it in your eyes that you are leaving
