The Future Used to Be Cool Lyrics by Ness (Band)

You Can’t Afford to Feel

0

Lies
Open up your eyes
And tell me what’s inside
You don’t have to keep me guessing
Anymore
No need to make it complicated
I’ve related to you
Now and then, so
Many times before
(Think I might go wrap it up)
Can’t be sure
Maybe you can’t see (Maybe you can’t see)
What’s going on with me (What’s going on back there)
You know very well (You know very well)
That I’m not whole
Open up your eyes
And tell me what’s inside
You don’t have to keep me guessing
Anymore
No need to makе it complicated
I’ve relatеd to you
Now and then, so
Many times before
(Think I might go wrap it up)
Can’t be sure
Maybe you can’t see (Maybe you can’t see)
What’s going on with me (What’s going on back there)
You know very well (You know very well)
That I can’t
Follow
And tomorrow is a hard-enough pill to swallow
The whole world’s choking on its pleasantries
There’s something you oughta see
We’re getting further from our destiny
There’s somewhere you oughta be
We’ve all been clinging to our dignity
There’s someone you oughta be
The whole world’s choking on its pleasantries
There’s something you oughta see
Vanishing into light
Every day of your life
Vanishing into light
All the days of your life
The whole world’s choking on its pleasantries
There’s something you oughta see
We’re getting further from our destiny
There’s somewhere you oughta be
(Ooh) We’ve all been clinging to our dignity
There’s someone you oughta be
(Ooh) The whole world’s choking on its pleasantries
There’s something you oughta see
(Hoo, ooh...)
(Hoo, ooh...)
(Hoo, ooh...)
(Hoo, ooh...)
(Hoo, ooh...)
(Hoo, ooh...)
(Hoo, ooh...)
(Hoo, ooh)
Here we are alone again
Waiting to restart the end
The distance is landing ahead
The denial tells me, “go”
Your embraces tell me, “no”
An illusion will flow
Now I linger like a fool
I wander back to you
I wonder what silence can do
And I wonder what you do
You’re the architect of you
So the end always looms
(Ah, ah, ah...)
(Ah, ah, ah...)
(Ah, ah, ah...)
(Ah, ah, ah...)
(Ah...)
(Ah...)
Let’s regret together
I can’t do it alone
Let’s regress together
And listen to the drone
Let’s recur together
And fall into our own
But let’s remain together
I can’t do it alone
Close your eyes
And dream of ways
To change the past
But not today
A new facade
Pretending to avoid
The stains
You’ve yet to make
Improve the lives
Of all the ones
You mourned
Affect in any way
Then wait, wondering how
You still believe in things
You’ve never tried
So come along
Outside the world you know
We’re gone to find
The meaning in our future lives, we’re free
From movement of our time
Recall that once
I’d asked you to remind
Me to confess that while
We’ve not learned how to cry
At least I know it’s sad when people die
This time
We know
To leave
The game
And hold
My back
We know
The way
And we
Are free
[Indistinct]
