Verse 1:
I pulled off the string
I cut down the rope
I couldn’t tell why
All the truth was unknown
The Lack of a Cause
A time for reason
What I didn’t know
I should have listened to what’s been told
Chorus:
Common Sense is breaking us down
We only know what
We only see
Common Sense is breaking us down
We only know what
We only see
Verse 2:
My fingers were crossed
He said I was fine
But I fell to the ground
No more time for excuses
I tried again
This time was good
I conquered my fear
But shortly realized my lively-hood
that
Chorus
Common Sense is breaking us down
We only know what
We only see
Common Sense is breaking us down
We only know what
We only see
Bridge:
I thought I was
To good for you
But time, made the world stand still
I thought I was
To good for you
But time, made the world stand still
Chorus
Common Sense is breaking us down
We only know what
We only see
Common Sense is breaking us down
We only know what
We only see
