Honest Judge

from Impossible Things by New People

/

lyrics

I understand it's hard to remain an optimist
When the honest judge calls your cup a quarter full
But the decent man might still lie to himself
To make it seem alright or make it seem better still

But in the face of the inevitable
Which man is proved the greater fool?

Oh, your honor, I'd like make a case for the worse
There may be something at the bottom or the other side
But we're falling in the meantime
I'll be falling in the meantime

The judge comes down to wade through the disarray
Of broken men, swear they were born that way
Change for the better starts from the bottom up
But at the bottom is a ground that's just waiting to drop out

The judge waxes apathetic
Under the weight of the impossible

You expected time to sort it out
You expected something better
Oh, in the wake you lost the will to wait
For resolution to never come

Yeah, we're falling in the meantime
I'll be falling in the meantime
