Mothers of Men

Lyrics

[Verse 1 - Claudio Sanchez] In this space where nothingness seems to writhe Our voice unheard in this quiet fight This march we lead will breed our song To them we're nothing, to them we're pawns Oh, a desperate play to feel like we belong Now, as we take up into the streets, remember I depend on you as much as you on me Don't try to fake it, let's not pretend We made you mothers, we made you men We made you mothers, we made you men [Chorus - Claudio Sanchez] Oh, it's no surprise, nobody listens anymore To what we're saying, to what was said And in your absence we promised you "We'll behave, oh, we'll behave" So just keep running Everything will look better once you look away Oh, I agree! Cause what's the difference, oh, is there a difference we make? [Verse 2 - Claudio Sanchez, Chondra Echert] Your day will come... The rain starts dancing across our backs These ardent words seize this heart attack Belief still strong, we can make this change The stage is set to occupy the brain The stages, we made this, we made this... We made it! [Chorus - Claudio Sanchez, Chondra Echert, both] It's no surprise, nobody listens anymore To what we're saying, to what was said To what we're saying... And in your absence we promised you "We'll behave, oh, we'll behave" We'll misbehave... So just keep running Everything will look better once you look away I've lost you... Oh, I agree! Cause what's the difference, oh, is there a difference we make? [Bridge] Between a dapper villain in a Sunday serial at the podium Or another cog in the wheel, just another cog in the wheel They're both capable of making life hard No bandage can mend all these parts So why do I give? [Pre-Chorus] Between, between, between... Between, between, between... Between, between, between... [Chorus - Claudio Sanchez, Chondra Echert, both] Oh, it's no surprise, nobody listens anymore To what we're saying, to what was said To what we're saying... And in your absence we promised you "We'll behave, oh, we'll behave" We'll misbehave... So just keep running Everything will look better once you look away I've lost you... Oh, I agree! Cause what's the difference, oh, what's the difference [Outro] Of making life hard? To what we're saying... No bandage can mend all these parts We'll misbehave... So why do I live with this? I've lost you... No difference... (Dyer: "Good night.")
