I bid farewell to my pain, it bitters and strains
Strung up with a long, tight hold
Never doing as it's told
What do you see when you're looking at me?
A heartbreaker? Wave chaser?
Underneath just another face-saver
So let the truth be told, my friends


I'm moving out of sync and getting left behind
It's sinking in that there's nowhere left to hide
What these thinkers think they never realise
But provers prove and they cannot be denied
So what are we going to achieve
Hands open and waiting to receive?

You can never tell me we’re going nowhere
Even when I see the writing’s on the wall
There’s a lot in this life and it's all on the line;
As you get old some dreams may die
Youth is the time to choose your desires
To aim and aspire no matter what it may require
So let the truth be told, my friends


I'm moving out of sync and getting left behind
It's sinking in that there's nowhere left to hide
What these thinkers think they never realise
But provers prove and they cannot be denied
So what are we going to achieve
Hands open and waiting to receive?
I look around at the faces we ignore -
24 and there's not much more


I used to lie through my teeth
I got so sick of the taste

I used to lie through my teeth
I got so sick of the taste
To cover up what’s beneath I held a mask to my face
I used to lie through my teeth
But then I gave it away
For better or worse, but you stayed
So let the truth be told, my friends
 
 
I'm moving out of sync and getting left behind
It's sinking in that there's nowhere left to hide
What these thinkers think they never realise
But provers prove and they cannot be denied
It seems we’re running out of time
So I’ll let you in on all these secrets of mine
