Only If We Learn Lyrics by Failsafe

The Truth Is...

2008

Is it giving up or giving in?
Living our lives left unattended is a cardinal sin
We can trace it back thought the years
We could pin every hope on the future and conceal the tears
But we are the ones to blame

"Never again" We cry
"Please open our eyes to the world we're setting alight"
Pray to God to put it to right
Time will wait for no one but itself, but itself
Time after time
As the hands unwind, minutes and hours pass
We find ourselves, find ourselves committing the crime
Time will be the end of us all
Is the life we treasure poured out in equal measures?
I guess we'll never know

When they take the sun out from the sky
Will we complain that there's no light
To shed on what we've done to ourselves?
I've got a reason to believe
Something can save us from our reprieve
But only if we learn
From pages that we've turned
Get ready to sink or swim
We're dancing on land-mines treading water again

Time will wait for no one but itself, but itself
Time after time
As the hands unwind, minutes and hours pass
We find ourselves, find ourselves committing the crime
Time will be the end of us all
Is the life we treasure poured out in equal measures?
Equal measures?

Push it under the carpet
And put it out from your sight
Sweep it under the carpet
Pray that everything is alright
Alright
Alright
Time never ends, it carries on ticking away inside this time bomb
Over and over again until we're gone
Time will be on our side
Time will be on our side
