lyrics

People, people live in tension
dont want to pass through life, without some recognition
We dress up / Accumulate the best of
Yes sir i know what its like

then the silence of winter seems
To pull me down / til I get what I really need
now a broken dream \ can bring a man to his knees
embrace that lower place\ where pain brings clarity

It’s a take-all, mans selfish composition
Poisons the best of hearts with indiscrimination
It feeds on our fears and isolation
Shows us our lack when the burdens stacked

then the silence of winter seems
To pull me down / til I get what I really need
now a broken dream \ can bring a man to his knees
embrace that lower place\ where pain brings clarity

You Spend your life/ fighting for/ an honest wage
While dreams are / tucked away
For an existence so plain
It's not too late / to ask yourself
Does it bring me joy

We don’t live on bread alone
Yet here we toil picking crumbs
inspired by the tv / pining for normality
For a counterfeit, a mirage
While what’s of worth is sabotaged

Freefall we fall in desperation
Without a glimpse of light in our Situation
We neglect love, looking for a shortcut
while the rest of the world is on fire

then the silence of winter seems
To pull me down / til I get what I really need
now a broken dream \ can bring a man to his knees
embrace that lower place\ where pain brings clarity
