We're All Doing Time

from It's Not Too Late by That Dream Was Our Life

lyrics

The prison yard on Valentine's Day
Walls too high for you to climb
If I've become everything that you hate then I guess we're all doing time

I'm better off when I don't know
Surrender never makes a sound
I think it's better if you go & take those chains you drag around

Do you rest your head against the bars
The recriminations never stop
How many secrets sleep inside your heart
Do you keep every single one of them locked

A blindfold held before your eyes
A hood that's pulled over your face
You can barely see the truth inside
It vanishes from sight like a love that fades

We're never given what we're promised
Where does a dream go when it dies
You asked me "Just this once, can you be honest?"
Ripples in the pools of your eyes

I'm better off when I don't know
Surrender never makes a sound
I think it's better if you go & take those chains you drag around
