Lyrics

Avoid Promises

You got the reason why I'm falling way out of way

I know it's easy to be of promise, I'm calling out to pray

I know the reason why I'm calling way out to pray

It's never easy to believe a promise, I'm stalling now to say

All insane, all in vain, all for lack of a reason

All insane, all in vain, all for lack of a reason

I got no reason why I'm crawling on this certain way

I know it's easy to be anonymous, not crawling to be safe

For some reason, I am falling, falling out of way

I think I'm ceasing to be harnessed, avoid it any way

All insane, all in vain, all for lack of a reason

All insane, all in vain, all for lack of a reason

All insane, all in vain, all for lack of a reason

All insane, all in vain, all for lack of a reason
