Living in recession It isolates the time that's pa**ed And it feels so long I reach for that line I can't hold on I can't see what lies beneath the words Where have I been? Between what rests in my soul and what's given It will never weigh the truth But I won't give up This is not where I stop The truth, it lies And 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 This is the golden rule: Keep what you have, cause it's all we have left
