It's not a secret, why did nobody tell me?
You've had a taste, but I can't escape it
You have to name it, but you can't take it from me
Driving the hammer, pounding the asphalt down
Your face was faint, but sweat obscures and erases it
Set my face to "smile's contagious"
Looks outrageous
Keep your chin up, Mr. "Nice Guy"
Friends stop asking, laugh 'til you cry
Grind my teeth and check my phone
I'm never lonesome
Set my face and smile in stages
Take the stage and make the changes
I was lost 'til you found me, sound sleeper
Grab a shovel, dig a little deeper
I'm out of town, tearing down the very fences I wrought
Can you make me a believer?
Growing a conscience is not the same as getting caught
This isn't kismet, this is calamity
And you were wasted, couldn't face it
I say you're blameless, you can't say the same to me
Driving the hammer, pounding the asphalt down
Your face was faint, but sweat and dirt won't erase it
Everybody wants the same thing, don't they?
Maybe that's what keeps me running like some kind of machine
Face set to "empty canvas"
Fear fans the glowing embers
Everybody wants the same thing, don't they?
At least everybody always wants the same thing from me
Teeth grinding, numb and painless
Take the stage and make the changes
Everybody wants the same thing, don't they?
Always wondering if there is something in it for me
Everybody sees the whole world this way
Doesn't everybody?
Doesn't everybody?
Face set apologetic
Stopped wondering why my friends left
Doesn't everybody?
I was lost 'til you found me, sound sleeper
Grab a shovel, dig a little deeper
I'm out of town, tearing down the very fences I wrought
Can you make me a believer?
Growing a conscience is not the same as getting caught
You're tired of waiting, so I am on my way
Resetting my face
No need to be patient, no need to look my way
It serves you the same
I keep digging away
Everybody wants the same thing, don't they?
Always wondering if there is something in it for me
Everybody sees the whole world this way
Doesn't everybody?
You're tired of waiting, so I am on my way
It serves you the same
I keep digging away
Everybody wants the same thing, don't they?
Always wondering if there is something in it for me
Everybody sees the whole world this way
Doesn't everybody?
Doesn't everybody?
Wasting time if you're looking for an answer
(You're digging, you keep digging the ground)
Am I wasting time if I'm looking for an answer?
(You keep digging, and you're dragging me down)
Wasting time if you're looking for an answer
(You're digging, you keep digging the ground)
Am I wasting time if I'm looking for an answer?
(You keep digging, and you're dragging me down)
Driving the hammer, pounding the asphalt down
Your face obscures and erases it
