The Wire Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Apathy vs. rage
A symptom of our age
Been living out our days
Observers not the actors

[Verse 2]
There seems to be of late
A currency of hate
We make the same mistakes
Crown bad behaviour king now

[Pre-Chorus]
I can feel it in my head sometimes
Little burning of that inner fire
When it's coming down to the wire

[Chorus]
I could do my very worst
Choose my words and make 'em hurt
Get the final blow in first
Whatever gets the win

[Verse 3]
Wading through the mire
How quickly we do tire
We're lighting our own pyre
Turn all the world to ash now

[Verse 4]
And through the deep unease
Hope we are good at least
Been praying someone please
Will right the wrongs we've made now

[Pre-Chorus]
Still I can feel it in my head sometimes
Little the burning of that inner fire
When it's coming down to the wire
The wire, the wire
[Chorus]
I could do my very worst
Choose my words and make 'em hurt
Get the final blow in first
Whatever gets the win

I could do my very worst
Watch my inner sanctum burst (if I wanna)
Without blessing, without curse
The age we're living in

[Bridge]
Creeping and crawling around
Someone's out there
Faceless and nameless
Got the neighbors dead scared

At night you while away the hours
The powers that be won't let you rest
Dissect the fear, the threat perceive
An enemy you've never met

[Chorus]
Do your very worst
Choose your words and make 'em hurt
Get the final blow in first
Whatever gets the win

You could do your very worst (if you wanna)
Watch your inner sanctum burst (if you wanna)
Without blessing, without curse
The age we're living in

[Outro]
Apathy vs. rage
A symptom of our age
But I want out
The age we're living in
