Contra Mundum – …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead
By
Strange to see how times are changing How being old is just the same as being young Think it’s time to rearrange things In an order we can finally understand Truth is that I’m not the same me That I was back then, when all of this began
One man against the world Thrown up against the wall Up against the ones who took it all
Consider all the odds we’re facing Then decide if we’re prepared to take them on Are you the one here who needs saving Or are you the one refusing to give up? Honesty is not the same thing As confessing and embracing all your flaws
Us against the world Thrown up against the wall Up against the ones who did you wrong Up against the ones who made you small Us against the once who said you’d never hit your mark
The more I aim, the worse I miss it More I act the saint, the worse that I do wrong Thought of buying a one way ticket On an airplane, and never coming home At least then I could be a stranger Somewhere far away, that no one else would know
Us against the world Thrown up against the wall Up against the ones who did you wrong Up against the ones who made you small Us against the once who said you’d never hit your mark
Overhearing conversations Makes it clear that they don’t know what’s going on Tuning through these empty stations Sound so desperate and devoid of any plan But maybe someday if we’re patient Then eventually the world will change for us
Us against the world Thrown up against the wall Up against the ones who did you wrong Up against the ones who made you small Us against the once who said you’d never hit your mark
