lyrics

Pinned Down

Here I am again
These four walls feel the same
Bring it shine or bring it rain
No longer can I feign

Just wanted something new
Another side of you
Joys they seem to few
There must be more to do

CH
Pinned down to the ground
What’s this living we have found?
How is it that we can grow?
Seems like we’ll never know
Your own way is there to take
Not for anyone else’s sake
Escape the grip that holds
Put your head up and stand bold

Things just move around
Put them on another piece of ground
They come with us wherever we’re bound
Like dragging a millstone round and round

What does it all mean to us?
Is it really worth the fuss?
For uselessness we have such lust
To fill the spaces is a must

The screen holds life on a string
There’s a monotone to everything
Peaks and troughs take a levelling
And you only get what you can bring

Just need a break from the norm
To weather out the storm
If things could take a different form
Would you want to be reborn
