November Cult - Pawns Lyrics

We live our lives through a HD screen
Having no idea of what we want to be
My independence has flowed up stream
Once you're underwater you can't hear the screams
I think I've woken up from the dream
I'd do anything to be put back to sleep
How can something that was so concrete
Be swept from underneath my feet
We're only as strong as the metre of pain
We're only as wise as the detail ingrained
The speed of life is catching up with me
So burn me until nothing but the ashes remain
We're all just pawns in the games that we play
We're all just victims in the mess that we made
I know you're dying to have your say
You want fame they'll be watching you anyway
Climbed to the top but I'm past the peak
Tried to outrun the rush but it's caught up with me
Can't own this own this high when I'm on my knees
This room's full but I'm dying for company
We're all just pawns in the games that we play
We're all just victims in the mess that we made
I know you're dying to have your say
You want fame they'll be watching you anyway
We're all just pawns in the games that we play
We're all just victims in the mess that we made
I know you're dying to have your say
You want fame they'll be watching you anyway
We're all just pawns in the games that we play
We're all just victims in the mess that we made
I know you're dying to have your say
You want fame they'll be watching you anyway
