Scratching sounds to the bottom of an empty plate Filling up the space And driving us insane All you have got is just an illusion of control The higher you fly the harder you fall On some of us life doesn't hit so hard A bullet in your forehead is the treatment I have found I've been waiting for change for so many years But you drew all my dreams away My knuckles are pale another decade is passing away I drew my dreams with a chalk under the rain There is no past and there's no future on the way Only broken promises remain Broken promises remain And doesn't really matter who is wrong and who is right We are sinking in the swamp of poverty and lies All we have got is just and illusion of control The deeper we drown The slower you fall On some of us lives doesn't hit so hard A bullet in your forehead is the treatment I have found I've been waiting for change for so many years But you drew all my dreams away My knuckles are pale another decade is passing away I drew my dreams with a chalk under the rain There is no past and there's no future on the way Only broken promises remain Broken promises remain
