I know I've been distant
But I feel a change coming on
I know I've been resistant
But I feel a change, way too strong

You've fought all their wars and
You've worked for every boss
You've traveled over country and
You've been home and you've been lost

I know I've been distant
But I feel a change we've been waiting on
I know I've been resistant
But I feel a change, way too strong

You've paid and you've been paid but
At what pains, just to belong?
You've played, but have you been played by
This game all along?

I know I've been distant
But I feel a change coming on
I know I've been resistant
But I feel a change, way too strong

Arguments, questions, our struggles and lessons
But do you feel smiled on by your past and present?
I still believe in the futures unwritten, living and dying like a damned human being
Believe in the buzzing of bees around me and we'll get on

What pain has been nagging on
Our brains and turning us wrong?
What weight has been dragging on
Our train for oh so long?

See, I've broken down the doors and found
Naught but dust and stones for our graves
We've spoken around it all, but now
I trust we can carry the day

I know I've been missing
But I feel a change coming on
I know I've been resistant
But I feel a change, way too strong

I know I've been distant
But I feel a change coming on
I know I've been resistant
But I feel the change we've been waiting on
