Sleepwalking

The city hides the secrets of the liars in the streets
The phone calls and assurances are all for nothing (but looking good)
Every time the truth comes out, it's pushed away and pushed aside
But I won't stand and watch it all
It'll go unsaid

How many times will I fall victim to this? (It's normal by now)
No one helps each other up (we push one another back down)
It's sad to see these people
And the apathy they have
I hope one day they lose it all for the choices they made

Out in the open, there's the air of brotherhood
And spoken truth yet everyone knows
What goes on behind these closed doors! (Do tell)
No one cares about the heart no one cares about the past
I've seen the way we treat each other
So keep smiling through your teeth

Don't ever tell me that you're telling the truth!
Don't ever think you can speak my name!
When did we stray from what we stand for?
When did it all mean nothing to you?

It's hard to find an honest mind in this city
And I keep hoping someone will speak up
It's hard to find an honest mind in this city
And I keep hoping, hoping someone will speak up!

I've seen how all of this ends
And I promise It's worth whoever it offends
What happened to what we believed in?

And I have seen how all of this ends
Sleepwalking our way to contentment
I won't just let it be and let you smile through your teeth
You call yourself human
So say it straight to me

We're sleepwalking all the way to contentment
When will somebody speak up?
We're sleepwalking all the way to contentment!
When will somebody speak up, speak up?

Don't ever tell me you're telling the truth
And don't ever think, don't ever think
And don't ever think you can speak my name
