Another Way

Smile wider

Show your teeth

Shoulders apart

Ground your feet

Though you wave out

To the people waiting

There's no connection there

You feed them empty promises

Fuelled with no meaning

Maybe there's another way

I wonder if there's another way

I scream out

Just about every day

Just to say...

There's tired

Under your eyes

With a piece

Of broken glass

Sticking out of your shoulder

You are weaker now

You seem to feel no pain

But inside there's no doubt

Maybe there's another way

Could you show me another way?

I scream out

Just about every day

Just to say...

How did you get here?

And would you be so kind

As to take my offer

And then my hand

Tell me

Is there another way?

Please, you must please

I scream out

Just about every day

Just to say

Take me away from this place
