Cool For August - Hope I'm Wrong Lyrics

I've been away 10,000 times and still I look in the mirror
What do I see?
An owl tryin' to fly in the light of day
Unaware of what's in my way
I can only find my place and I hope I'm wrong
I hope I'm wrong
By step by step....
CHORUS
Ooh here they come
Destroying my youth
And the other side's the same
When the rain pours
They'll cut us a loop and another nail
I've been asleep for most of my life and still it looks familiar
The people I meet are callous,
Taking life in another way,
Contrived in the words they say,
Keeping time with the wolves at prey and I hope I'm wrong
I hope I'm wrong
CHORUS
They will pay for
All the times we've come through
In the eyes of hate
When will I make it?
And is the world worth taking?
When will I make it?
CHORUS

I've been away 10,000 times and still I look in the mirror
What do I see?
An owl tryin' to fly in the light of day
Unaware of what's in my way
I can only find my place and I hope I'm wrong
I hope I'm wrong
By step by step....
CHORUS
Ooh here they come
Destroying my youth
And the other side's the same
When the rain pours
They'll cut us a loop and another nail
I've been asleep for most of my life and still it looks familiar
The people I meet are callous,
Taking life in another way,
Contrived in the words they say,
Keeping time with the wolves at prey and I hope I'm wrong
I hope I'm wrong
CHORUS
They will pay for
All the times we've come through
In the eyes of hate
When will I make it?
And is the world worth taking?
When will I make it?
CHORUS
