In The Face Of All We Know

lyrics

I never lied as a young boy
Was just trying to do good
Thought I had the help of an angel
But I misunderstood

But it was better than nothing
And I was running out, running out of time

And I thought I was a renegade
But something just didn’t feel right
When I think of all the plans we made
I was holding on too tight

I guess I better do something
And if I were you, and you were me, we wouldn’t fight about it
Cos we’re running out of time

In the face of all we know
It’s so dangerous
With the lies, with the lies that we’ve all told
When we’re on the other(s) side
In the face of all we know

And I could be wrong, I could be right
And we’re running out

I know the truth, it never changes
It’s a slow eroding fight
Maybe it’s true no matter what you think,
but perhaps we shouldn’t hold on tight

And if it all comes to nothing
And if I were you, and you were me, we wouldn’t fight about it
Cos we’re running out of time

In the face of all we know
It’s so dangerous
With the lies, with the lies that we’ve all told
When we’re on the other(s) side
In the face of all we know

And I could be wrong, I could be right
And we’re running out

How long, it’s too long
How long will it take this time to get it wrong
How long ‘till the fighting and the fear
Becomes the faces that we recognise
And maybe, everything is fine

In the face of all we know
It’s so dangerous
With the lies, with the lies we’ve been told
When we’re on the other(s) side
In the face of all we know
When you’re running out of time
