The weight that we all shoulder
Times are stained
Twisters that twist
Us into changing
Lived through the lows
And embraced the highs
Been welcomed in
Have been denied
All my memories
I've learnt to file
Futile desires
I've quelled the flames
Age of the rundown
The new refrain
These old sandpaper towns
Rub me the wrong way
It's that freedom edge
That's gone all wayward
All about control
Sacred owned
By faceless folk
In luxury homes
Find me something
I need but I don't know
Token smiles
Strangers remain
Age of the comedown
The new refrain
Faceless folk
In luxury homes
Find me something
I need but I don't know
Token smiles
Strangers remain
Age of the comedown
The new refrain
The weight that we all shoulder
Times are stained
Twisters that twist
Us into changing
Lived through the lows
And embraced the highs
Been welcomed in
Have been denied
All my memories
I've learnt to file
Futile desires
I've quelled the flames
Age of the rundown
The new refrain
Futile desires
I've quelled the flames
Age of the rundown
The new refrain
Futile desires
I've quelled the flames
Age of the rundown
The new refrain
