Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And when I wake up in the morning
To feel the daybreak on my face
There's a blood that's flowing through the feeling
With a knife to open up the sky's veins
[Chorus]
Some things will never change
They stand there looking backwards
Half-unconscious from the pain
They may seem rearranged
In the backwater swirling
There is something that'll never change
[Verse 2]
And when I should have been done a long time
It laughs and says I find ways
Just when we're sheltered under paper
The rockets come at us sideways
[Chorus]
Some things will never change
They stand there looking backwards
Half-unconscious from the pain
They may seem rearranged
In the backwater swirling
There is something that'll never change
[Bridge]
And hey I'm blind
Good fine
Roll the time
On whose dime
[Verse 3]
And when I wake up in the morning
To feel the daybreak on my face
There's a blood that's flowing through the ceiling
With a knife to open up the sky's veins
[Chorus]
Some things will never change
They just stand there looking backwards
Half-unconscious from the pain
They may seem re-arranged
In the backwater swirling
There is something that'll never change
[Chorus]
Some things will never change
They just stand there looking backwards
Half-unconscious from the pain
They may seem rearranged
In the backwater swirling
There is something that'll never change
