Van Buren Lyrics - Spitalfield

The day after Independence Day 

There's no laughter and nothing left to say 

We all fall back to our patterned lives 

Our hearts turn black, pursue the dollar signs 

Either way we will all fall down 

The beating clock is the only sound 

Close our eyes as we hit the ground 

And wake up blinded 

Either way we will all fall down 

The beating clock is the only sound 

Close our eyes as we hit the ground 

And wake up blinded 

We're all burnt out from working overtime 

From eating pills that control our state of mind 

We drink ourselves asleep just to forget the day 

Then medicate again just to stay awake 

Are we living just to die 

Or are we just dying to live? 

Either way we will all fall down 

The beating clock is the only sound 

Close our eyes as we hit the ground 

And wake up blinded 

Either way we will all fall down 

The beating clock is the only sound 

Close our eyes as we hit the ground 

And wake up blinded
