Lyrics

Yes, it's dark sometimes
The people are shoving
Pushing you into the ground
And you cry in the daylight
With the sun in your eyes
Even though you know you're not alone
And it's all been felt before
You stare out through your window
And wonder if there's gonna be more
It brings you down
It's like a war
Who pays the price
If you want more?
It's the quiet desperation of a million lives
Gonna make you change your way
We got everything we wanted but we forgot how we got it
Just can't paint it golden anyway
And the strength of all you're giving
Is gonna make the changes
And tomorrow's gonna bring a new day
It brings you down
It's like a war
Who pays the price
If you want more?
Yeah, as the years go by, will it show on your face
Or stay hidden behind some door?
Yeah, you made your resolutions with the will of a priest
But you're not so sure anymore
And the reasons why you're living
Keep changing
Everytime you find a key, you find more
It brings you down
It's like a war
Who pays the price
If you want more?
It brings you down, down
It's like a war
Who pays the price, yeah
If you want more?
It brings you down
It's like a war
Who pays the price
If you want more?
What you want more for?
