The Tom Surdi Experiments - Right About Now Lyrics

I'm at a loss for words
Or so it seems
Grown tired of the simple life
And simple things
And no one seems to care
We live beneath our means
There's still so many things that make it hard for us to see
Everywhere I go I see
A ghost in front of me
And even when I walk away
He tends to follow me
Are we who we are
Who do we think we'll be
I think it's just a consequence
Of being me
Right about now
The men who make us play the game will never set us free
And honestly the world's a mess
But darling so are we
I used to think that we could be the ones who pull the strings
There used to be some semblance of a fighter left in me
I feel like every day is getting closer to the end
I'm filling out the pages of the story in my head
How will they know my name
How can I make them see
The part of you that recognizes consciousness in me
Right about now
Right about now
Peel away
Another face
In hate we trust
And all the ways
We talk it up
Send up the pain
And all the dreams we've given up
