Day and Age (edit)

He's counting down the days in tedious grey charades The truth still hangs on the wall when pride comes before a fall Who am I? In answer to your question, you won't know now Turning the lights out and closing the windows Just wasting your way off this world We're living in a dying age When the writing's on the wall And we're burning with a quiet rage This is the day and age He tries to fight his pride, but something sticks deep inside And as this fire builds, he stands here perfectly still Who am I? I'm gonna be somebody, I've nothing left to lose Stand in the spotlight assume your positions You're gonna remember me now We're living in a dying age When the writing's on the wall And we're burning with a quiet rage This is the day and age And if I told you sooner My statement of intent I'm living in the dark light There's nothing left to say now This world has lost all sense We're living in a dying age When the writing's on the wall And we're burning with a quiet rage This is the day and age
