This temptation is inhumane The smoke flies through the red lights in your mind Wipe those teary eyes No need to speak clever it matters whether We are still standing stagnant here for the next few years Beaten to brilliance, a beaming light for the millions Stop the flowing tunnels of veins so their hearts can't thrive on Our post optimistic view that pauses the growth of tenacity Lead us into debt when home doesn't feel worthwhile to me Take it with a grain of salt, I've taken that for years And I know I'm not man enough to change All is well as I can tell, holding it back for years Force-feed us those thoughts we seek You've haunted me for so long, don't leave us until we age That restrain is something we need Cuddle up to the cutter arms and make sure that you mean no harm Piety is a weakness, it ties us together in tandem since we were apart
