Lyrics: Five Mile Town. Other. The Cycle.


Verse 1:

Syncopated lies
You're only fooling you
And that's all right with me
You'll figure it out eventually
But as for now your lame excuses have to stand
On on leg or the other
One way or another

Chorus:

Can we break the cycle?
Can we start something new?
Or is it just my call to be nothing but used?

Verse 2:

Now you're on your own
There's no one there but you
And that's a crying shame 'cause
Now life will never be the same
So call me out to watch your broken dreams float by
Turn back, you're at the limit
What life? Did we begin it?

Chorus:

Can we break the cycle?
Can we start something new?
Or is it just my call to be nothing but used?

Bridge:

It's the cycle, it's the way we've come to live
It's the one deciding factor, it takes all we have to give
And it's the source of mediocrity, the course we mustn't take
It's the comfortable fall-back plan, the thing that makes us fake

Chorus:

Can we break the cycle?
Can we start something new?
Or is it just my call to be nothing but used?
Will we break the cycle?
Will we start something new?
Or is it just our call to be nothing but used?
