It’s quarter to five and it’s pitch dark outside 
As the lights on the Tyne ebb and flow 
My soul begins sliding like rain 
As it glides by my window 
I’m alive and I’m lost in my choices 
My shots at establishing what I’ll abide 
At opposite ends 
We both look like men from the outside 
Evolution would claim we are brothers 
We could not, could not share the same Mother 
We suck in the same air 
We share the same God and we feel the same atmosphere 
Evolution would claim we are partners 
We could not, should share the same father 
You are not of my kind 
I live to believe and I leave you behind 
As we’re steered into the light 
From the darkness and the ever-grey night 
And we feel fear, though some fear the fight 
When the day arrives 
And only strongest survive 
It’s quarter to six and I’m feeling like shit 
As the war rages deep in my bones 
In patience, in love, in grace 
Try to smother my ego 
Each step that I make 
Each day I wake up until death I’ll take comfort and pride 
Whilst you wrestle with sin 
We both look like men from the outside 
Evolution would claim we are brothers 
We could not, could not share the same Mother 
We suck in the same air 
We share the same God and we feel the same atmosphere 
Evolution would claim we are partners 
We could not, should share the same father 
You are not of my kind 
I live to believe and I leave you behind 
As we’re steered into the light 
From the darkness and the ever-grey night 
And we feel fear, though some fear the fight 
When the day arrives 
And only strongest survive
