Unspoken Rules

[Verse] In the uncertainty we now find ourselves, Actions shape who we are inside. Once we grew from the ways of our parents, Near and far, their wisdom we acquired. [Verse 2] Learning at the schoolyard door, Rules they set, we learn to play. Faith we had in books we swore, Youthful hearts in dismay. [Chorus] We live in patterns set so tight, Roles we take both day and night. Questioning what feels so right, Unspoken rules blurred out of sight. [Verse 3] Work comes with its own guise, Responsibilities we take. Bending truth in grown-up lies, How much more until we break? [Bridge] Years go by, the clearer view, Why do we follow, do we need? Roles and goals we thought were true. Older now, we plant new seed. [Chorus] We live in patterns set so tight, Roles we take both day and night. Questioning what feels so right, Unspoken rules blurred out of sight.
