lyrics

It’s been some time since we’re here now
We’ve been promised so much more than that
Maybe we were blinded by this false facility
We were told this place was the best for us

The way he spoke about this place
There was no way that we wouldn’t try
But how could we have known
Since we were so young back then

Basically we are the forgotten
Stuck in this alley
We wonder can it be any worse
But when you sit and think about the world
Do you see a beautiful landscape or a place as dark as we are now
He said that it was the best
That here was the place for us
I was a little bit skeptical
The way he spoke about the quality of life
I can only wonder why he didn’t came here before
It's seems obvious now that he wanted us out
I must admit that I fear for the worst now
Because we are not the only ones here

We don’t claim to have all the answers
But we don’t fear looking for them
There is just no way we can be so low for so long
I think that we were promised a false paradise

Basically we are the forgotten
Stuck in this alley
We wonder can it be any worse
But when you sit and think about the world
Do you see a beautiful landscape or a place as dark as we are now
