This is the clock upon the wall.
This is the story of us all.
This is the first sound of a newborn child,
Before he starts to crawl.
This is the war that's never won.
This is a soldier and his gun.
This is the mother waiting by the phone,
Praying for her son...


Pictures of you, pictures of me.
Hung upon your wall for the world to see.
Pictures of you, pictures of me.
Remind us all of what we used to be.

There is a drug that cures it all
Blocked by the governmental wall
We are the scientists inside the lab,
Just waiting for the call
This earthquake weather has got me shaking inside
I'm high up and dry



Confess to me, every secret moment
Every stolen promise you believed
Confess to me, all that lies between us
All that lies between you and me

We are the boxers in the ring
We are the bells that never sing
There is a title we can't win no matter
How hard we might swing
