"Mongrels" lyrics

The way things are going
The world that I've grown in
Is gonna fade away
Gave all the seats of power
To a new world order
That is erasing me

Come home mid December
I was running away
Feeling like I set you up
For old times' sake

We were mongrels all our days
I can't change my ways now
So let them write us off the page
And I will walk
Through the rest of my life and know
All there ever was to know
The way things are going

In the reckoning days now
We identify and unify where we can
Something so familiar
Lost in time's defining years
But it's still the same

Speak up in your silence
And look me in the eye
I'll trade you love for judgement
To save our paradise

We were mongrels all our days
I can't change my ways now
So let them write us off the page
And we can walk
Through the rest of our lives and know
All there ever was to know

Oh oh oh
The way things are going
It's fading so

We were mongrels all our days
I can't change my ways
So let them write us off the page
And I will walk
Through the rest of my life and know
All there ever was to know
