Owl Creek - The Sound of Second Thoughts Lyrics

Pretend we pretend
Pretend to know what we want in this life
We martyr ourselves
Suffering so great misguidance through pain

Blood Sweat Shame
They dance out of our veins
War with ourselves
Do ends justify the means

This is the sound of second thoughts
Do you hear them? Do you hear them?

This is the sound of second thoughts
Are you listening? Are you listening?

Mortal we're mortal
We've only got one chance at this life
Risky it's too risky
We all have to live with our own deficiency

Terror sheer terror
Defeat is the only thing in our dreams
Failure total failure
Paralyzed at the thought of an error

You will fail as you continue to grow
Spend the time make mistakes learn from them don't repeat
It's the only way to get better

Like man's scars upon the earth
So too will you heal from your mistakes
So too will we heal from our mistakes

This is the sound of second thoughts
Deafening sounds deafening sounds

This is the sound of second thoughts
Learn your lesson learn your lesson

Don't let the fear take hold
Don't let fear take control
Don't fall into its hole
Climb out and reach your goal

Don't let the fear take hold
Don't let fear take control of you
Don't fall into its hole
Climb out and reach your goal
