lyrics

Feel the crash in this competition of self
Versus the water whose first to soften
Let us keep diving, switching stations on our radios
to find the perfects speech to make
This leap spreading forward closed within our minds
ever so simply erasing the rest
Arise with a war message, a vision growing overflowing,
baptism in the bleeding red tide

No horizon has matched these miles
And when this illusion takes it break for a while
I’d have grown, become numb right to the sight
Because I’m sick of believing the wright

Rise. Accept. Become Savage.
Will is the thrill of true allowance
Of these chains to break, with the quietest sound
Let the knowledge sink in, see your heroes unbound
Welcome to this reality; don’t hide yourself interpreting it all

What’s the point of more poster children for nihilism
though I do enjoy the isolation
Is the religion of the future just nothingness,
as concretely as it is on these fingertips?
As I’ve come in today intoxicated with these infinite limitations
Have I learnt through my own extension
the new price of loving fate and her consequences

I feel the best when I’ve hoped,
I feel just right with my faith
I feel alright when I’ve prayed,
until it washed away

I feel so wrong when I seen tears
I feel so bad when there’s blood
But its these moments that I’ve found
I never felt so good

The folks in blue are painting red,
this white dream message where’s all better off dead
It’s not the way it was it’s the way it should be
The firemen will become arsonist, the ambulance will carry morticians
It’s not the way it was it’s the way it should be

There’s constructs laying the foundation
while pride’s drawn on its chest with crayon
It’s not the smell of a dream, it’s a burning book
Some tattered rose may graze us with knowledge
While the now gaze-less stare of some regular foliage
Describes passion as if it were a four letter word

It’s not the way it was it’s the way it should be
