Lyrics

PRE CHORUS
Been having dreams of locked emotion 
Water in a tank. 
Observing from a distance
Feel it just the same.
Younger years have gone and 
Passion seems to fade 
I've ex-changed naivety to 
Join the grand charade.

INSTRUMENTAL INTRO

VERSE 1
These theatrics seem to bore me 'cause the story has no end
Like a tv show finale set to stop and start again 
Like a treadmill with a back drop never closer do I get,
To that setting sun in paradise but still I sweat. 

FILLER RIFF

VERSE 2
I know you feel it too a train stuck to its tracks 
Want so badly to derail it's our fear that holds us back
Well complacency's a one way street and I've gotta close it off
I can feel the floods are coming time to smash that ticking clock.

CHORUS
Pure potential waiting 
Stuck behind the glass 
Stagnant water till the
Tank that holds it cracks

SOLO

VERSE 3
Bottled up all my ambition while I worked away my time
Treading water while I waited for the wave I wanna ride 
See tomorrow never sticks around she's like a lonely bride
Now all these yesterdays and could have beens have swallowed up my life.

VERSE 4
Throwing rocks into the river while I stand upon the bank
Every promise undelivered makes it easier to sink
All the life boats look like coffins in this wreckage that I swim
Now, weakened by the pounding waves I feel like climbing in...

CHORUS X2
Drowning dreams inside a 
Sea of apathy, 
No more games I have to
Set these captives free. 

Pure potential waiting,
Stuck behind the glass,
Stagnant water till the 
Tank that hold it Cracks!

ALL END ON "CRACKS"
