Only If We Learn - Intellectual

Is it giving up or giving in?

Living our lives left unattended is a cardinal sin

We can trace it back thought the years

We could pin every hope on the future and conceal the tears

But we are the ones to blame

"Never again" We cry

"Please open our eyes to the world we're setting alight"

Pray to God to put it to right

Time will wait for no one but itself, but itself

Time after time

As the hands unwind, minutes and hours pass

We find ourselves, find ourselves committing the crime

Time will be the end of us all

Is the life we treasure poured out in equal measures?

I guess we'll never know

When they take the sun out from the sky

Will we complain that there's no light

To shed on what we've done to ourselves?

I've got a reason to believe

Something can save us from our reprieve

But only if we learn

From pages that we've turned

Get ready to sink or swim

We're dancing on land-mines treading water again

Time will wait for no one but itself, but itself

Time after time

As the hands unwind, minutes and hours pass

We find ourselves, find ourselves committing the crime

Time will be the end of us all

Is the life we treasure poured out in equal measures?

Equal measures?

Push it under the carpet

And put it out from your sight

Sweep it under the carpet

Pray that everything is alright

Alright

Time never ends, it carries on ticking away inside this time bomb

Over and over again until we're gone

Time will be on our side
