Lyrics

I know for some it takes a bit, a bit more time
I know for some the truth is slowly dawning
We used to try and see things from the other side
You just see everything that’s wrong in your life

You’re a slave to a tired religion
Scream from the side of the road
And you pray that you will be forgiven
This hate left you nowhere to go

You know they’re everything you said you would never be
You hear those lies? They’ve got your name upon them
Yeah sure things are not how they used to be (though you may try)
It’s just not the same now that we’ve seen the other side

You’re a slave to a tired religion
Scream from the side of the road
And you pray that you will be forgiven
This hate left you nowhere to go

There are some things we do not control

Slow, slow, slow, slow
Slow, slow, slowly dawning

That’s just pain that’s all that is (slow, slow, slowly dawning)
It’s a wave to ride, to ride back in (slow, slow, slowly dawning)
That’s just pain that’s all that is (slow, slow, slowly dawning)
A way to let some light back in (slow, slow, slowly dawning)

You’re a slave to a tired religion
Scream from the side of the road
And you pray that you will be forgiven
This hate left you nowhere to go

What’s in your head don’t pass the test
There’s nothing left it’s slowly dawning
Bury your head or count the dead
There’s nothing left it’s slowly dawning
