Men In Dark Times

Men In Dark Times - The Plastic Constellations

We just can't stop runnin' the wheel's already turning around

Because we're up against the furnace the heat is making terrible sounds

This water's rising at a terrible rate we've got to escape

With our lungs already burning the past is catching up to us now

It's time to shake off this unbearable weight before it's too late

We're lacking in direction but tearing big tracks in the ground

But for the rest we're just stuck in East St. Paul

We never rest we skip spring and summer head straight to the fall

With storm and stress we turn to bank tellers at the earliest call

Cause second best is never good enough when you're tryin' for it all

You want to believe but you don't want to be wrong

You gotta move on

That's not a shower it's a hurricane

You want to be heard but you don't want to be hard

You gotta be strong

We're in the middle of the churning waves

We just can't stop running the feeling's burning straight through so loud

Because we're up against the churning its loudest at this edge of the town

This water's rising at a terrible rate we've got to escape

With our hearts already hurting the past is catching up to us now

It's time to shake off this unbearable weight before it's too late

Because we're lacking in direction but swearing that we'll never back down

But for the rest we're just stuck in East St. Paul

We never rest we skip spring and summer head straight to the fall

With storm and stress we turn to bank tellers at the earliest call

Cause second best is never good enough when you're tryin' for it all

You want to believe but you don't want to be wrong

You gotta move on

That's not a shower it's a hurricane

You want to be heard but you don't want to be hard

You gotta be strong

We're in the middle of the churning waves
