Take It Back

[Verse 1] It's hard enough to notice Harder still to react Just a stone's throw from the centre of our attention We all fade to black [Chorus] Save me from a villainous imagination Deliver me from my friends If I said something to make you mad I will take it back [Verse 2] It's hard enough to stomach But try to look away Is this a news report or a trailer for a motion picture? It all fades to grey [Chorus] [Verse 3] Long lines and warning signs Think of all the lives saved by plastic knives It's naive, but make-believe We will never lose if we remove our shoes It's hard to keep your mouth shut Harder still to make noise But we can't have the perfect 20/20 hindsight That our fate enjoys [Chorus]
