Outside I hear panic
But in here there's no call
If compassion's a mechanic
Our evolution's made to stall
So I've been hearing sirens
In the distance passing by
Likened to your heavy heart
Apart to compromise
The common ground we tread
We've been spinning our wheels instead
Locked in your guts and wired to your head
Wondering where it's been
Wondering where it's been
Sheltered in some silence
As the guilt still overflows
Do we understand defiance?
We'll just destroy what we don't know
It's never wishful thinking
Because the time has passed us by
In the end we're only cornered
As the horns sound through the sky
The common ground we tread
We've been spinning our wheels instead
Locked in your guts and wired to your head
Wondering where it's been
Wondering where it's been
So as the temptation
Engulfs us and then hides
I'll still be here waiting
Beneath these midnight skies
Baby, close your eyes
The common ground we tread
We've been spinning our wheels instead
Locked in your guts and wired to your head
Wondering where it's been
Wondering where it's been
