lyrics

Walking through a haze, trading Dollars for Days
Stains on my shirt but my mind’s not working
Fooled me once, now I’m stuck in a maze
I wanted more, but I’m tired of searching
Kia ora, my name’s Dawn, and I’ve been screeching in my sleep, then wake to find the moments fly like birds upon the breeze.
Too fast, the days are passing with increasing ease; I measure years in pairs of jeans and fear the marching of the seasons.
I have tried to find a reason for accepted expectation; to way your worth on years of tedium and lost elation,
That we should torch our taonga for ‘great’ ungrateful nations, but to teach our kids te Reo would take a toll on our taxation.
It’s a dichotomy isn’t it? Capitalism has given me everything; bite it off all the way to the wrist, now I cannot eat.
Time is restless, I’m lost in the game and it’s feeling conflicted, don’t run out the clock, take a shot and you miss it.
The moments fly by as the world beneath dies, but I don’t want to scream if nobody’s listening.
