lyrics

You're not gonna like it
If you like keeping score
But none of us can run from it no more
Throw aside your mission
The world is getting small
None of us can run from it no more

You're not gonna like it
But it's never been your call
Time makes fools and martyrs of you all
Banish all ambition!
March yourself to war!
Time makes fools and martyrs of you all

You can change your ways and blame yourself
You could stand your ground and run like hell
You could change your ways and blame yourself
You could make amends, but it won't help

Now the gate you fear has opened
Don't look at me like that
Don't look at me like that

The shape appears
The shape you hoped that...
Don't look at me like that
Don't look at me like that

Look to the future
And all that's at stake
Look to your past
It's all been a fake-out
Don't look at me like that
Don't look at me like that

Farther to safety and harder to fake
Look to the future -
It's all taking shape now!

This EP is superb. I did not expect the closing track to sound the way it does. Such an atmospheric and emotional sound, it really turns the rest of the EP up to eleven. zWarhead
