lyrics

We tear around for hours
In cars out on the roads
Always everything with urgency
Wanting more
Put the pedal to the floor

Some don't know where they're going to
Others walk their chosen path
We all end up in the same place
It's always a trail we can't retrace

Alarm, sore eyes
Work late, rewind
Wish life away

Most days we forget we're animals
Just flesh, blood and bones
Why make it so much more complicated
On this rock in space, we're so alone

We rush around the offices
The work is never done
We're holding on for holidays
And the fleeting moments in the sun

Up later, so tired
But can't sleep
Till the noise in
Our brains goes away

Most days we forget we're animals
Just flesh, blood and bones
Why make it so much more complicated
On this rock in space, we're alone

Some times we forget what’s above
Too concerned with what’s below
And all the many things that we believe we know
No time to look inside ourselves
Though many words are so unkind
So many different ways to back away and firmly close our minds
Maybe too afraid of the truth that we might find

Underneath our skin
The tired beating of our hearts
Our patience stretched so thin
Pulled tight, until everything within is breaking
Don’t know where we’ve crossed the line
We’ve lost sight of what is wrong or right
Too late to stop and turn around

Unhappy, so sleepy
No escape, so empty
Our money, can’t buy everything we crave
So simple, so fragile
So confused, and so in denial

No we’ll never have enough
Never
No we’ll never have enough
