lyrics

Overdue Deadlines

Everyone here has a song of their own
that they sing to themselves so no one else will know
the lies that they live or the life that they give to the alter
to sacrifice for the day
Like a lion when it knows that it’s truly beat
all the fight is gone now we’ve become the sheep
and everyone will say that the thing they hate the most is in themselves
when all the cards are down

Do you wonder if any one can see
what your hiding or what you want to be
are you another face another casualty
we’re all another face we’re all casualties

This place is full of long overdue deadlines
that we drew for ourselves but some how let expire
We’re past those dates but we don’t want to wait on redemption
cause we’re afraid it’ll never come
The sun will rise and the wind will ride
but the walls that we build just keep on getting higher
and the tools we use of are our own abuse
so in the end do we even know ourselves
