lyrics

Keep on pushing while you can, all the fools have got their way
All the lines they have told you, is night becoming day
All the silk and magic rhyme,
The deception of a moving staircase

When the silence fills the air, there’s a coldness in the calm
All the corners they are cutting, no one sounds the alarm
So untrue becomes the norm
And you never know which way to turn

Leave it behind, leave it behind
You should be okay, you should be okay
Leave it behind, leave it behind
Smile and walk away, smile and walk away, hey

All the words never said, blanks to stoke the fear
Then the loaded reflection, a cry that never tears
Well it’s just another way
That could land you in an endless maze

Leave it behind, leave it behind
You should be okay, you should be okay
Leave it behind, leave it behind
Smile and walk away, smile and walk away, hey

Come on, they’ll never catch us now, never catch us now!…
