Lyrics
In the Present Tense
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Our struggle never ends it recedes and begins
followed up by another our path is set
our will is soaked we suit up and
then we follow it's a long way down
this road tomorrow I thought the world was
ours but it's only ours to rent or
borrow if we're lucky we'll own a small
piece of freedom for awhile this dream is
a lie it's such a long way down
this road tomorrow we're waiting we're degraded we're
breaking our backs to we've ever wanted crushing
our hopes one last time.
