We Both Know We both know that love's an arrow We both know it's heading straight for the heart We both know the path gets narrow The further on you go from the start We both know that we've been weak And we could never turn the other cheek For the second blow And we both know We both know that the dark is rising We both know it'll swallow us whole We both know there's nowhere left to hide in To keep together body and soul We both know that we've been trapped And hypocrisy always comes gift wrapped In ribbons and bows And we both know We both know that the thunder's rumblin' We both know that the sky turned black We both know that the walls are tumblin' Faster than we put the bricks back We both know that we're out of time We both know we don't have a dime To make the mechanism go And we both know We both know that the frame is frozen We both know that the image is caught We both know that we've been chosen For our integrity which cannot be bought We both know my finger's on the button This time you're lamb dressed up as mutton In the spotlight's glow And we both know We both know that the debts are mounting We both know that it's sink or swim We both know that the Reaper's counting Waiting for the end to begin We both know that we're tempting fate And that tomorrow's gonna be too late When the truth's exposed And we both know We both know that it's now or never We both know that it's me or you We both know that we won't live forever No matter what we say or do We both know that though the beach is burning This crazy old world will keep on turning That's how it goes And we both know |
