lyrics

Before You Know

We are the ones who'll starve
Living in ignorance
Abbreviate our words to save on borrowed time

Obsessed and unaware
We all abuse ourselves
I've done the same, too long
and now I'm suffering

Looking at you, it's real
Beginning of the end
Of all the things we loved
Embraced over the years

With our shattered hands
Our eyes will turn to stone
There'll be no more tomorrow
Everything we live for gone

Abandon all the others to stand a chance
Leave behind your friends
Like the not so distant future
Life on your own is bleak

Slowly, it attacks you
And before you know
You cannot recover
In the end we are disabled
