Everything seems to move so fast
Nothing expected to last
Any longer than the vapor on a misty trail
That spirals after its own tail
Unpalatable platitudes bludgeon my senses
That masochistic maxim that fences us in
Yep that's the way it is
But is it the way it always was?
Yep that's the way it is
But is it the way you want it to be?
Yep that's the way it is
But is it the way it always was?
Yep that's the way it is
But is it the way you want it?
Open eyes despise what I see
Feeling the last remnants of sanity
Evaporate into a distant cloud
On the horizon where we once stood proud
Unpalatable platitudes bludgeon my senses
That masochistic maxim that fences us in
Yep that's the way it is
But is it the way it always was?
Yep that's the way it is
But is it the way you want it to be?
Yep that's the way it is
But is it the way it always was?
Yep that's the way it is
But is it the way you want it to be?
Maybe I'm longing for a time when living seemed more sublime
Or maybe I'm longing for a place that never existed in any case
Yep that's the way it is
But is it the way it always was?
Yep that's the way it is
But is it the way you want it to be?
Yep that's the way it is
But is it the way it always was?
Is it the way it always was?
Is it the way you want it to be?
Is it the way you want it to be?
