We Are Going Nowhere

Every little step we make each day Brings us closer to the end of play We want to laugh, we want to feel alive Yellow and blue ribbons in the sky Sorrow follows me wherever I go Like a broken drum that beats too slow Never up front, always in the rear Tomorrow’s hands are pulling near We are going nowhere, not tonight Lost in the dark, chasing the light Hold me close, don’t let go We are going nowhere, but we know We are going nowhere, we are going nowhere I want to run, I want to break free Voices in my head won’t let me be Which way is forward, black or gold? The world grows quiet, the night grows cold River, take me, carry me away Like airplanes turning into gray Minute by minute, we fall behind Never reaching what we meant to find We are going nowhere, not tonight Lost in the dark, chasing the light Hold me close, don’t let go We are going nowhere, but we know We are going nowhere, we are going nowhere Step by step, we circle back Walking a line that bends to black Who knows when, or where, or why We leave our marks and watch them dry Six eyes watching, but seeing one Nobody said this would be fun We live inside the shell we made Hiding in the songs we never played We are going nowhere, not tonight Lost in the dark, chasing the light Hold me close, don’t let go We are going nowhere, but we know We are going nowhere, we are going nowhere We try to smile, we try to cope We stitch our fear with threads of hope If this is all we ever know Still we sing, still we go We are going nowhere, not tonight Still we burn, still we fight Hold me close, don’t let go We are going nowhere, but we know We are going nowhere, we are going nowhere
