Another half-felt smile shot my way
But it makes it easier to sing
To a crowd of people that seem to say
Silent words but no one's prayin'
So how do we go from here to there?
Can't you feel the flow?
Meanwhile I'm just wasting time
Out here in the mines
Every day I'm older, a little bit closer
But I'm so lost in my mind
And I don't know yet where I'm going
Guess that's just a part of life
I'll sit right here and enjoy the night
Out here in the mines
Just walk the other way and bat an eye
Or you'll find yourself inside
The walls that talk to patronize
A part of you that's livin right
They'll ask what you've heard and who's it from
How did you not know?
So meanwhile I'm just wasting time
Out here in the mines
Every day I'm older a little bit closer
But I'm so lost in my mind
And I don't know yet where I'm going
Guess that's just a part of life
I'll sit right here and enjoy the night
Out here in the mines
The sand is fallin' all over the floor
The glass is broken in your hand
You can't come back here anymore
No, your time's come to an end
What did you think, you'd be here long?
You thought that it'd go slow?
Meanwhile I'm just wasting time
Out here in the mines
Every day I'm older a little bit closer
But I'm so lost in my mind
Still not knowing where I'm going
Guess that's just a part of life
I'll sit right here and enjoy the night
Out here in the mines
The Mines
So I'll be here, wasting time
Out here in the mines
Every day I'm older a little bit closer
But I'm so lost in my mind
Never knowing where I'm going
Cuz it's so hard to find
I'll sit right here and I'll watch the sky
Out here in the mines
The mines
