The Recognitions - Silent Alarm

We were living all the lies we're taught
Riding shotgun in Luke's car
We never learn
We never took heed of our sins
Burnt bridges in our own smoke rings
Now it's your turn
"Look it was a different time"
He said with a crooked smile
Then he gave me a gun
We woke to a silent alarm
Watching all the lights go dark
As the skyline blurs
And burns
What did I say?
This place is going to hell
What did I say?
We called it all back then
Now we're sleeping in an old dive bar
The city might as well have been Mars
Ash and dust
Screams echoing through the crowd
As we move from town to town
lookin' for the coast
As we walk on I recall the
Last days of a world I knew and
While I know that it's all gone I
Can't help but remember you your
Voice so soft your eyes so blue your
Touch so warm I feel it still in
Dreams that wake me in the night
Before the old man speaks at first light
"What did I say?
This place has gone to hell
What did I say?
I called it all back then"
We woke to a silent alarm
Watching all the lights go dark
As the skyline burned
"Look, it was a different time"
He said with a crooked smile
Then he gave me a gun
We never took heed of our sins
Burnt bridges in our own smoke rings
Now it's your turn
We were living all the lies we're taught
Riding shotgun in Luke's car
We never learn
Hey, everybody knew, it would come to this
Hey, everybody knew, it would come to this
Shut up, everybody knew, it would come to this
Hey, everybody knew, it would come to this
