lyrics

I bid farewell to my pain
It bitters and strains
Strung up with a long tight hold
It's never doing as it’s told.
What do you see when you're looking at me?
A heartbreaker? Wave chaser?
Underneath just another face-saver.

So let the truth be told my friends.

I'm moving out of sync and getting left behind
It's sinking in that there's nowhere left to hide
What these thinkers think they never realise
But provers prove and they cannot be denied.
So what are we going to achieve,
Hands open and waiting to receive?

You can never tell me we’re going nowhere
Even when I see the writing’s on the wall
There’s a lot in this life and it's all on the line
as you get old some dreams may die.
Youth is the time to choose your desires,
To aim and aspire no matter what it may require.

So let the truth be told my friends.

I'm moving out of sync and getting left behind
It's sinking in that there's nowhere left to hide
What these thinkers think they never realise
But provers prove and they cannot be denied.
So what are we going to achieve,
Hands open and waiting to receive?
I look around and see the faces we ignore
24 and there's not much more.

I used to lie through my teeth...
I got so sick of the taste.
To cover up what’s beneath
I held a mask to my face
I used to lie through my teeth
But then I gave it away
For better or worse, but you stayed.

So let the truth be told my friends.

I'm moving out of sync and getting left behind
It's sinking in that there's nowhere left to hide
What these thinkers think they never realise
But provers prove and they cannot be denied.
It seems we’re running out of time
So I’ll let you in on all these secrets of mine.
