living in recession it isolates the time that s passed and it feels so long i reach for that line i can t hold on i can t hold on i can t see what lies beneath the words where have i been where have i been between what rests in my soul and what s given it will never it ll never weigh the truth but i won t give up this is not where i stop the truth it lies and there sand there is faith behind the frames i have a lot riding on this and i can t afford to give up now the scene s repeating i won t give up i ve come to the conclusion that there is no escaping and i told you once and i ll tell you again secrets are kept by old men and i told you once and i told you then when we survive we only pretend when we survive we only pretend this is the golden rule keep what you have cause it s all we have left this is the golden rule keep what you have cause it s all we have left this is the golden rule keep what you have cause it s all we have left
