The city hides the secrets of the liars in the streets The phone calls and assurances all for nothing (but looking good) Every time the truth comes out its pushed away and pushed aside But I won't stand and watch it all It all go unsaid
How many times will I fall victim to this It's normal by now No one helps each other up we push one another back down It's sad to see these people And the apathy they have I hope one day they lose it all for the choices they made
Out in the open there's the air of brotherhood And spoken truth yet everyone knows what goes on behind these closed doors Do tell no one cares about the heart no one cares about the past I've seen the way we treat each other So keep smiling through your teeth
Don't ever tell me you're telling the truth Don't ever think you can speak my name When did we stray from what we stand for When did it all mean nothing to you
It's hard to find honest mind in this city And I keep hoping someone will speak up It's hard to find honest mind in this city And I keep hoping hoping someone will speak up
I've seen how all of this ends And I promise It's worth whoever it offends What happened to what we believed in
And I have seen how all of this ends Sleepwalking our way to contentment I wont just let it be and let you smile through your teeth You call yourself human So say it straight to me
We're sleepwalking all the way to contentment When will somebody speak up We're sleepwalking all the way to contentment When will somebody speak up speak up
Don't ever tell me you're telling the truth And don't ever think don't ever think And don't ever think you can speak my name
