lyrics

Never-ending
With the greed they slide up
Take your love
Turn it to a product you want nothing more of
As they

Line em up
Put em in place
Those priorities fake
Feed em vacant dreams
Monetize life
Treat a mind like it's just machine

They say you gotta keep pace
And you gotta behave
And you gotta look clean
Fuck it I'd rather be me
Rather be free

Light up the night
Open the mind
They're seeing sales
And dollar signs
Soulless and stale
Commodified
Still can't snuff this light

Profit motives only get you so far
How could they determine who you are
And what you choose to create
Can't write a check for a life worth living

Line em up
Put em in place
Those priorities fake
Feed em vacant dreams
Monetize life
Treat a mind like it's just machine

They say you gotta keep pace
And you gotta behave
And you gotta look clean
Fuck it I'd rather be me
Rather be free

I've known it all my life
Beauty behind those eyes
You're heavy on my mind
Keeping me high

Lately I've been feeling so aimless
Keep my head up
Gotta be patient
Take this life at my own pace can't be complacent in the pain
Give myself away
To fucked expectations
Too gone for those games

Time ain't no commodity
Least not what it ought to be
Let's take it slow
Break from the modern day race and all the fear it holds
Time ain't no commodity
Least not what it ought to be
Let's take it slow
Break from the modern day race and let these feelings show

I don't give up
I make moves
I won't get stuck
I stay loose
I don't need nothing but you to be honest and open

I don't need love
I need truth
I don't want fake
I ain't fooled
I don't need nothing but you to be present in this moment

Know I grow numb and my heart got ice on it
Way that you move is burning a light for it
Griped by a melody
Break through the life I see
Let it flow free

Fuck all the money can't put a price on it
Fuck all the fame I don't need no eyes on it
Griped by a harmony
Sung to the life I lead
Let it flow free
