Hear me speaking Asking why I even bother Tell me how you Live from day to day Take your time and look around Is this utopia you've found? Sick of all of this The suffering, and we just carry on Isn't it time we care and lose the hate Understand our fears But we do all that we can Justify the means to an end Sorry, you must excuse me I've painted my own Mona Lisa She's fixed everything Now I'm spoiled beyond my wildest dreams Blind faith we have in you Invisible Which direction do we choose Predictable Take the streets, the beaten path Our system works for whom I ask, yeah I have it all The bigger house An iron fence to keep you out When did we all let you down? So come Messiah, show us how How Our human spirit drowns Don't think you hear me now No sign of you around What is it you hope to see? Blind faith we have in you Invisible Which direction do we choose Predictable Give us something we can use Desirable Cause you've done all you can do Regrettable And still life pushes on With or without you We've got to carry on Our will will guide us to A place where we belong Know there lies the truth I am the believer who gives purpose unto you I don't think we let you down So come Messiah, show us now Now Throw us a pure lifeline I hope that you hear me Too proud to be around There's more to us than we see now Blind faith we have in you Invisible Which direction do we choose Predictable Self ignorance, abuse Desirable Cause you've done all you can do Incredible
