Canary in the Coalmine Lyrics

Sometimes i find i´m hating
The randomness of chance
I find I´m not relating with that
That beautiful romance
So when its all collapsing
I try to say so what
It´s only looking backwards that
you can connect the dots

Spending more time in virtual worlds
Than with friends and families, sure it strange
Giving form to a cyber self
While wishing we were someone else

Hard to relate when you´re missing life
When you´re feeling nothings on you side
Backed up right against the wall
Our suffering connects us all

Trapped in fairy tale
I never seem to act
The only way you fail
Is when you don´t react

Sometimes I know i´m selfish
Sometimes I´ve had enough
The one thing never teach you
Is how hard it is to love
Why I don´t know, I´m so ungiving
keeps me away from the truth of living
Happiness that stays unshared
Is a road that leads to god knows where

I am done with with looking inwards
Opening up to find new secrets
It takes time to try and adapt
To redefine and make new maps

I can see the canary in the coalmine
There there she lies, is there time is there time
I catch myself musing
My armour carries c****s
Still I can´t conceive of
The randomness of things
I find my head is blank &
I know I´ve lost control
Still i´m giving thanks
For the die I´m still to roll

Living in a time of scepticism
Hard to determine fact from fiction
Often cutting, seldom feeling
What it is we´re really need

What will i do when my grand child asks
What did I do did I play my part?
Can I look him, in the eye
And say to him I really tried?

I, I can see the canary in the coal mine
There there she lies, is there time, is there time?
I, I can see the canary in the coal mine
If she could be saved, I would try , I´d try
