Cartography - Children Lyrics

Blow a kiss and wink my eye
Run away and say goodbye
Look, I'm much stronger than you are
Silly figures in the sky
Tear at flowers passing by
You'll never know what's here inside
Apathetic, what's it for?
You're neurotic, I'm a bore
Try to survive and nothing more

Are we frightened, little children?
Are we veiled in self-delusion?
Will we ever know it's wrong?
How'd I learn to play along?

Sighing past our better days
Grown accustomed to the taste
Time comes to show its weathered face
Mother tells you, life ain't fair
Peace will come to those who dare
Son, it's the weak who show they care

So take it for granted
Say it in vain
No one is watching
The rain is the rain

So cross your fingers
Carry that weight
No one's changing
No one's changed

So take it for granted
Say it in vain
No one is watching
The rain is the rain

So cross your fingers
Carry that weight
No one's changing
No one's changed

Are we frightened, little children?
Are we veiled in self-delusion?
Will we ever know it's wrong?
How'd I learn to play along?
