Slick Will & The Layabouts - Whispers In The Wind

I wish it were as simple as starting over
Before the river started flowing and we got swept away
In all the fire, a reaction so chemical
Left us with burns we're still feeling today
With shattered souls and hardening hearts
We drudge on through smoldering decay
But hope remains, there's more in these veins
Left to achieve in this vision of you

Only you
Shining bright

Kick off the charge so we can heal these scars
Tend our wounds before the rot sets in
Before it's not so fairy tale fictional
And we're once again mired in original sin
Two steps back, keep the right foot in front
Do the dance with a black toothed grin
Come together as one at the stock of a gun
Reload, down the sights aim for a future true

Just waiting on a whisper in the wind
It passes through my fingertips
Evading my catch, lost in the flood
A glimpse of an idea so pure
Forget the past as the old guard dies
It's all been a grandiose pack of lies
Sold to persuade us, leave us in the dust
And stop the idea so pure
