lyrics
Well wasn't that something?
They'll say as they rake the coals
Right over what we had
Didn't see that coming
One moment for the curtain call
It didn't seem so bad
In the altogether the truth is forged
We always thought we could beg for more
Good hearts broken parts
Modern life it all comes down
If we let it fall
False starts torn apart
The world we have it all comes down
If we lose control
Sift through the layers
Reaching for a tiny shard
Of what we used to have
So many papers
Held us tight for we were welcome
In the promised land
The burning remnants we recognise
We couldn't help if they informed our lies
Good hearts broken parts
Modern life it all comes down
If we let it fall
False starts torn apart
The world we have it all comes down
If we lose control
They'll say as they rake the coals
Right over what we had
Didn't see that coming
One moment for the curtain call
It didn't seem so bad
In the altogether the truth is forged
We always thought we could beg for more
Good hearts broken parts
Modern life it all comes down
If we let it fall
False starts torn apart
The world we have it all comes down
If we lose control
Sift through the layers
Reaching for a tiny shard
Of what we used to have
So many papers
Held us tight for we were welcome
In the promised land
The burning remnants we recognise
We couldn't help if they informed our lies
Good hearts broken parts
Modern life it all comes down
If we let it fall
False starts torn apart
The world we have it all comes down
If we lose control
