Covering the tracks
You're wearing out the path
Follow but never lead
Tracing over lines
To blame for sleepless nights
With no clue what they mean
Those hopes and fears
Fell on deaf ears
Sold cheap, obsolete
For thirty years
So over exposed
Expectations imposed
For dubious reward
Don't value the stream
But when watching the sea
Cry it's steep at the shore
Those hopes and fears
Fell on deaf ears
Sold cheap, obsolete
For thirty years
All they want to see
Is plundered history
From a rose-tinted past
It's low-hanging fruit
On a tree with deep roots
Write the future from scratch
Those hopes and fears
Fell on deaf ears
Sold cheap, obsolete
For thirty years
