we are all living the same way
same way
we are escaping the same way
same way
circling
we are a part of the same play
same play
we think we're making our own way
same play
circling

you don't have to hold your head up high

round and round
 I [bad word] away this time
 till you show me what this life is for
round and round
I'm not gonna let you change my mind
till you show me what this life is for

we are afflicted by fiction
 building a case for eviction
 circling
guarding a tower of ancients
shooting down arrows of patience
and patiently
 circling

you don't have to hold your head up high

round and round
 I [bad word] away this time
till you show me what this life is for 
round and round 
I'm not gonna let you change my mind
till you show me what this life is for

all the emptiness inside you
is hard enough to fill 
without a sense of purpose 
were setting up to fail 
you don't have to make it right 
just hold your head up high

round and round 
I [bad word] away this time 
till you show me what this life is for 
round and round 
I'm not gonna let you change my mind 
till you show me what this life is for
