I'm afraid I've reached the end of my rope.
Racing to a headstone is not what I would call hope.
This world desires every form of control.
It only needs the tired to do what they're told.
Everyday I see my friends misled;
they lure you with a paycheck and leave you with a life debt.
So every night when you can barely sleep, you struggle to remember your foolish dreams.
Chorus:
All these worries are wasted on anyone hoping for change.
Fight to earn a new place far from everyone else or face this game in vain.
Compare your life to others everywhere;
every little detail; proving you did not fail.
All this haunting leaves you feeling old;
nothing is accomplished going down that road.
Chorus
Bracing for disaster
as our youth crumbles to ashes.
and
Fear of being average
causes all your passion to fade.
This album is a perfect example of music for the sake of music. There are little to no intelligible words, but lyrics are simply (catchy) melodies, almost as if we should move to the music, not flair. Arcade Island
I love how this album exemplifies feelings and moods, the songs aren't necessarily about events. Sometimes I think that says more about life than anything else. Arcade Island
