Driven - Anacrusis

Life seems to stand still in time

As the soul retires, deaf, dumb and blind

And all we feel

If far from real

As these gears which, once, had driven us

Lie still and frozen

Innocence has long grown old

As idle hearts have long grown cold

Right or wrong

We go along

Lame and tired

The will to try

Deep down inside all of us

Lies dying

It’s easy

Not to see

What this should be

Wind this spring and watch it grow

Stand back and watch as it explodes

And all unfolds

As all we hold

Wound tightly, carefully, silently

Unravels

Idle hands have lost their hold

As idle minds think what they’re told

Right or wrong

We go along

Lame and tired

The will to try

Deep down inside all of us

Lies dying

It’s easy

Not to see

What this could be

Right or wrong

We go along

Lame and tired

The will to try

Deep down inside all of us

Lies dying

It’s easy

Not to see

What this could be
