lyrics

Written on Your Face

In this sleepy neighbourhood
Where we all acted like we should
For a while

Smell the coffee, eggs and bacon
See the neighbours through the seasons
Good times for miles

Throw a spoke in the wheel
Throw a wrench in the works
And everything changes

And this sleepy neighbourhood
Where we all acted like we should
Ain’t what it used to be

It’s written on your face
The scars you can’t erase
It’s etched upon your soul
The hand you cannot hold

Once was kind and familiar
Now is strange and the landmarks look peculiar
You greet the day with tired eyes and you walk the streets with uncertainty
In the sights of evolution, we all yearn for restitution
But the chip upon your shoulder ain’t repaired so easily

It’s written on your face
The scars you can’t erase
It’s etched upon your soul
The hand you cannot hold

It’s written on your face
The damage hard to gage
The scars you can’t erase
Only time will help them fade

In this sleepy neighbourhood
Where we all acted like we should
For a while
