lyrics
#bankedbitchestreated
When we know this is real, we can fly free, break from the will.
Being nothing holds the greatest thrill.
They stand to bring a way of life, with their lead and steel, kill hope of progress with a dollar bill. Life's worth can be bought from a man. Reaching pockets, just a sleight of hand.
Our loss is someone else's gain, and if we all lose how will things ever change?
Think how freedom is something you can buy.
All your good times ain't worth a dime, and all your memories won't keep us alive.
So play the soldier, they won't tell you wrong.
But be good fortune and links will remain strong.
Bring hope, bring shelter. Push past all the failure.
Take a step back from anguish, this plight is smaller than you'll ever know.
So get down and face destiny, and you can pass through the fog with me.
So much in life remains unheard, but with some care this existence will flourish.
It's in sight, can't we all just see the meaning of life and reality?
Bring hope, bring shelter. Push past all the failure.
Be strong, be worthy. Open minds and keep moving.
Be legend, not story,
The journey's forever living,
Why can't we just see what is real?
Our sights are lost in an endless void.
Feel a hand that keeps you moving forward,
Its better than the loss and the failing.
It's better than the loss and the failing.
'Cause we we're too scared to speak loud, too fearful to feel this world, too broken from reality and what it truly needs. We fight for who we are, but not what we can be, turning blind eyes to what's missing,
And we're to scared to speak loud, to fearful to feel this world, too broken from reality and what it truly needs.
Fight not for who you are, but all that we can be, and fight for what is missing.
When we know this is real, we can fly free, break from the will.
Being nothing holds the greatest thrill.
They stand to bring a way of life, with their lead and steel, kill hope of progress with a dollar bill. Life's worth can be bought from a man. Reaching pockets, just a sleight of hand.
