lyrics

We live in a world where intuition is void,
And no one has a counterpoint,
Besides “I don’t like what I hear”.

We yearn for change,
But how can we change as human beings,
When we look in the mirror and don’t like what it is we see?
We're after our weight in gold to make ourselves shine.
We forget who we are and where we’ve been.

We're too focused on presentation,
And the beauty of the surface.
We're too hopeful on what it means to be content,
Even though everything is worthless.

To those material ideals implanted in your brain,
I say you can live and die and waste your time,
But love will forever be the cornerstone to my mind.

Tangible items will only bring you so much content,
Until you and them alike,
Wither to waste,
But thoughts and memories will last forever,
To those material ideals implanted in your brain,
I say you can live and die,
Waste your time,
Love will forever be the cornerstone to my mind.

It's high time you realised the price of happiness,
In life is non-existent stop being so resistant,
To the chances to advance,
Your dreams ahead!

Why do you frown so?
You've nothing but light in life,
If you're committed to a change,
I will never leave your side.
This town has long since passed its prime.

This is it,
It’s the time,
Right here you draw the line,
At your feet in the sand,
Be shackled here or roam the land?
It's your choice this time,
The regret this time,
Shall not be mine.
I will not be held responsible for your losses.

You'll pay the price of a life in chains!

Why not unbind yourself from the structures you've formed?
Unstitch the wounds once since healed since they were sown.
Is it that you don’t want a better life for yourself,
Or you're too comfortable with the broken one you've always known?

To those hollow morals,
Burned in to your brain,
I say you can live and die,
Waste your time.
Love will forever be the cornerstone to my mind,
And I will take it to the grave with this life I've made mine!

We can make this our home,
With the right colours and some beautiful tone.
So fragile were the thoughts in our mind once,
We forgot how to speak without our tongues.
