Duncan Shiek - Reasons For Living
from the album "Duncan Shiek"
Everyones looking, everyone hides
Everyones telling, but everyone lies
We're changing the subject, we're turning away
Away from the heart of it all
You say you are happy,
Do you think this is fun
Well it's only a firefly to the light of the sun
You say this is living, you feel so alive
Well you know everything dies
Even my wonder, even my fear only amount to a couple of tears
There is a rhythm, its near and it's far, it flows through the heart of us
Welcome to another day it don't seem that different 'cause nothing has
changed
I try to remember, try to remember when we weren't just running in place
Reasons for living never come cheap,
But even your best ones can put me to sleep
What I am saying or trying to say
Is that there must be a better way
Even my wonder, even my fear only amount to a couple of tears
There is a rhythm, it's near and it's far it flows through the heart of us
Its already in you, its already there you may disagree, but I don't really
care
Did you ever find out, did you ever find out what's at the heart of us
Did you ever find out, did you ever find out what's at the heart
Tell me all your wildest dreams
I don't really care you know what they mean
Were raiding the closets with skeleton keys,
You know its easier than you think
Even my wonder, even my fear only amount to a couple of tears
There is a rhythm, it's near and it's far it flows through the heart of us
Your reasons for living are all very fine, but they're leaving me cold, they're
not really mine
Did you ever find out, did you ever find out
What's at the heart of us
