lyrics

First scene sets the premise, to give cause to the pandemic
for when the balance between wants ands needs,
becomes too hard to be obtainable and maybe we
are sons and daughters of a make easy its all for free society
the epitome of gluttony

These aren't the plans that we made, but we never planned in mistakes
and I've got insufferable dreams, now just ink blots on sleeves cause

this don't feel much like the movies
no calling for line when I choke and I stall
just black and white re runs in colour
nothing original about quitters

so spare us your excuses, and entertain some advice
excite, at all the wonders in life
and please don't run through all that you should walk
and never stop at what your fighting for
the oldest tale that somehow time forgot

these aren't the plans that we made, but we never planned in mistakes
dreams of grandeur fade
and i've got insufferable dreams, now just ink blots on sleeve
we can still pray

This don't feel much like the movies
no calling for line when I choke and I stall
just black and white re runs in colour
nothing original about

clean cut for good luck as it seems
the pretty ones they always get in free
you know i've never been pretty
I hesitate, incase mistakes come my way
so the ships always sail

this don't feel much like the movies
no calling for line when I choke and I stall
just black and white re runs in colour
nothing original about quitters

nothing original, nothing original about quitters
nothing original, nothing original about quitters
