As you secretly plan your escape
From you world without fences that you fought so hard to defend
You watch the highway below

The silent breadlines of civilised men
As you cling to the edge of a dead monday


Every town looks the same
It's just the streets that have different names
It's the infinite sadness of parallel lines

It's the shade in your eyes
We're not meant to be living this way


You watch as they dance to the pulse of a clock
With those ignorant faces that they lie so much to protect
But these are all broken men

Their eyes are extinguished, their dreams became lies
And you cling to the edge of a dead monday


Every street looks the same
It's just the towns that have different names
It's the infinite sadness of parallel lines

It's the shade in your eyes
We're not meant to be living this way


Wait
Meant to be living this way
Wait

We are meant to believe in this
Living this way
