I bid farewell to my pain, it bitters and strains

Strung up with a long, tight hold

Never doing as it's told

What do you see when you're looking at me?

A heartbreaker? Wave chaser?

Underneath just another face-saver

So let the truth be told, my friends

I'm moving out of sync and getting left behind

It's sinking in that there's nowhere left to hide

What these thinkers think they never realise

But provers prove and they cannot be denied

So what are we going to achieve

Hands open and waiting to receive?

You can never tell me we’re going nowhere

Even when I see the writing’s on the wall

There’s a lot in this life and it's all on the line;

As you get old some dreams may die

Youth is the time to choose your desires

To aim and aspire no matter what it may require

So let the truth be told, my friends

I'm moving out of sync and getting left behind

It's sinking in that there's nowhere left to hide

What these thinkers think they never realise

But provers prove and they cannot be denied

So what are we going to achieve

Hands open and waiting to receive?

I look around at the faces we ignore -

24 and there's not much more

I used to lie through my teeth

I got so sick of the taste

I used to lie through my teeth

I got so sick of the taste

To cover up what’s beneath I held a mask to my face

I used to lie through my teeth

But then I gave it away

For better or worse, but you stayed

So let the truth be told, my friends

I'm moving out of sync and getting left behind

It's sinking in that there's nowhere left to hide

What these thinkers think they never realise

But provers prove and they cannot be denied

It seems we’re running out of time

So I’ll let you in on all these secrets of mine
