WATER IN A TANK

*PRE CHORUS*
Been having dreams of locked emotion 
Water in a tank. 
Observing from a distance
Feel it just the same.
Younger years have gone and 
Passion seems to fade 
I've ex-changed naivety to 
Join the grand charade.

*INSTRUMENTAL INTRO*

*VERSE 1*
These theatrics seem to bore me 'cause the story has no end
Like a tv show finale set to stop and start again 
Like a treadmill with a back drop never closer do I get,
To that setting sun in paradise but still I sweat. 

*FILLER RIFF*

*VERSE 2*
I know you feel it too a train stuck to its tracks 
Want so badly to derail it's our fear that holds us back
Well complacency's a one way street and I've gotta close it off
I can feel the floods are coming time to smash that ticking clock.

*CHORUS*
Pure potential waiting 
Stuck behind the glass 
Stagnant water till the
Tank that holds it cracks

*SOLO*

*VERSE 3*
Bottled up all my ambition while I worked away my time
Treading water while I waited for the wave I wanna ride 
See tomorrow never sticks around she's like a lonely bride
Now all these yesterdays and could have beens have swallowed up my life.

*VERSE 4*
Throwing rocks into the river while I stand upon the bank
Every promise undelivered makes it easier to sink
All the life boats look like coffins in this wreckage that I swim
Now, weakened by the pounding waves I feel like climbing in...

*CHORUS*X2

Drowning dreams inside a 
Sea of apathy, 
No more games I have to
Set these captives free. 

Pure potential waiting,
Stuck behind the glass,
Stagnant water till the 
Tank that hold it Cracks!

ALL END ON "CRACKS"
