lyrics

Decisions were made, consequences as follows
Were they made by I, or by some other force?
My life is set out for convenience of others
Make a note of my living, set fire
Angels and demons fighting over my future
While the family pays a close watch
I mustn't break down now, must persevere forward
Make a note of the things that I see

Working class victors are gradually falling
Blame themselves, recondition their faith
Tying flowers to their chains of servitude
Beaten down by the norms of success
Look back to your youth, when you thought as a child
Everything that you wanted to be
Compare to shattered remains of what once were your dreams
Make a note that you're living a lie

Decisions were made, consequences as follows
Were they made by I, or by some other force?
My life is set out for convenience of others
Make a note of my living, set fire
Walked amongst spirits, risen to task
I knew this joy was never meant to last
I've observed you grow up, so young yet so fast
Take the fire that burns us and run
