Did it ever really go the way you thought it would go
Life seems to have a momentum all in its own
In the dimly lit portico you call a home
There's a greedy little hand in the shadows that catches every penny you own
It comes with all the uncertainty of a knife
You threw up to catch on the ceiling, but it bounced off and broke the light
Ten or fifteen little monsters seem to gather around you
They're in your head, they're in your heart, they're in your mind
They control everything that you do
The only thing the world's prepared you for is the solitude of a lonely day
From the worker's hands to the farmer's plains
From the man on top to the servant's chains
In the lover's heart where his passions reigns
The only thing that you get is a moment to make
Only a matter of time before it starts breakin'
Another piece in the line of what we've been makin'
The temperamental design that's suddenly shakin'
Plan on getting behind with the time it's takin'
The only thing the world prepared you for is the solitude of a lonely day
Winding up again in a similar place
With that same expression in a familiar face
The disappointment buried deep down in your chest
Old habits and instincts providing the rest
The only thing the world prepared you for is the solitude of a lonely day
From the worker's hands to the farmer's plains
From the man on top to the servant's chains
In the lover's heart where his passions reigns
The only thing that you get is a moment to make
