[Verse 1]
The promise, it will get better
But it never been quite this bad
Darkness came fast this time
Will we ever see the light of day?
Forcing us down on our knees
Let's pretend that we're praying

You think that it will be easy
To just reach out a hand
But these prisoners of ego's law
Staring out at a barren land

[Chorus]
And it is still, all the same
And it is still, all the same
It is still, all the same
The same old promise, the same old lies
That I despise

[Verse 2]
The promise, it will get better
But it never been quite this bad
Lock the door, ascend real high (?)
The wolves are roaming free
Maybe we can get some crumbs
When they're taking all that we need

[Bridge]
Looks like everything is lost
All the wolves (???)
No more dreams of brighter days
Just new distractions thrown away

[Chorus]
And it is still, all the same
And it is still, all the same
It is still, all the same
The same old promise, the same old lies
The same old lies that I despise
The same old promise, the same old lies
That I despise

It is still...
And it is still...
The same old promise, the same old lies
The same old lies that I depsise
The same old promise, the same old lies
That I despise
