The Promise

The promise, it will get better But it never been quite this bad Darkness came fast this time Will we ever see the light of day? Forcing us down on our knees Let's pretend that we're praying You think that it will be easy To just reach out a hand But these prisoners of ego's law Staring out at a barren land And it is still, all the same And it is still, all the same It is still, all the same The same old promise, the same old lies That I despise The promise, it will get better But it never been quite this bad Lock the door, ascend real high (?) The wolves are roaming free Maybe we can get some crumbs When they're taking all that we need Looks like everything is lost All the wolves (???) No more dreams of brighter days Just new distractions thrown away And it is still, all the same And it is still, all the same It is still, all the same The same old promise, the same old lies The same old lies that I despise The same old promise, the same old lies That I despise It is still... And it is still... The same old promise, the same old lies The same old lies that I depsise The same old promise, the same old lies That I despise
