I See Trouble Lyrics

I see trouble up ahead

I see trouble in what's not said

I see trouble in all the lies

I see trouble in shifty eyes

You know that trouble can come around

Like a tiger, it makes no sound

Turn away as things crumble

Hopelessly and quietly so

On the edge of a volcano

A volcano about to blow

It tells you; you don't tell it

But we're all blinded by entitlement

Ignore the rumble, if your dare

As fumes snake into the air

What I deserve ain't what i got

Tense resentment morphs into rot

No, we don't deserve anything

'We get what we get' is a song that no one sings

We only get snatches of time

That reveal the twisted minds

Are we merely pawns on the board?

Blind to images of hidden swords

Lurking around the edges of our minds?

See through the smoke while there's time

Living a good life is a testament

But a great life is an accident

A possibility just the same,

And thinking of that will keep me sane

So, take my hand, let's find a way

Before the sun melts our feet of clay

I see trouble up ahead

I see trouble in what's not said

I see trouble in all the lies

I see trouble in shifty eyes

You know that trouble can come around

Like a tiger, it makes no sound
