Running short on imagination
Still we waste it all on words
Spoken without the benefit of our minds
The candle burns the edges fray
Our best intentions waste away
And everybody loves the things we've done
And on and on and on
Life appears weightless
For everyone but me
This world grows heavier everyday
Deterioration
Growing old before my time
Nobody cares never mind
We all prey on our vain condition
And the hopelessness of it all
These days there's nothing
We can trust
The dreams we made we've seen them fade
Trampled by our sad parade
Yet we're so pleased with what we've done
And on and on and I'm done
Life appears weightless
For everyone but me
This world grows heavier everyday
Deterioration
Growing old before my time
Nobody cares
The mind breaks down when it dies
Our machines doubled in size
To orchestrate the grand collapse
I see us all trapped in its path
There was a time we were unbound
As if we'd never hit the ground
But just like rain we can't keep from falling
Still we waste it all on words
Spoken without the benefit of our minds
The candle burns the edges fray
Our best intentions waste away
And everybody loves the things we've done
And on and on and on
Life appears weightless
For everyone but me
This world grows heavier everyday
Deterioration
Growing old before my time
Nobody cares never mind
We all prey on our vain condition
And the hopelessness of it all
These days there's nothing
We can trust
The dreams we made we've seen them fade
Trampled by our sad parade
Yet we're so pleased with what we've done
And on and on and I'm done
Life appears weightless
For everyone but me
This world grows heavier everyday
Deterioration
Growing old before my time
Nobody cares
The mind breaks down when it dies
Our machines doubled in size
To orchestrate the grand collapse
I see us all trapped in its path
There was a time we were unbound
As if we'd never hit the ground
But just like rain we can't keep from falling
