lyrics

Does this need to be a constant
In the way we choose to live
It's an honest question
Cause pressures pushing us to the edge

Of a cliff on a stage
Pageantry for the ones who've shown us "our" way
And given us up as a feast
For the mouth of that social beast

Deplete the air of oxygen
They've locked us in a chamber
Full of creatures making judgements on how we should live
Just no sense in it

So we're breaking out
All eyes on the road ahead
Move right in my line of sight and now I'm looking in
To a life I could never live
But can't give up
There's something bout the way your running with
This pure ideal
I know you feel it
But it's hard for me to believe that any of this could actually exist

And yet still I'm holding out
For that vision but it's shifting it's shape into a cage that resembles the one we escaped
Can't rush into that place
Despite all your claims

Guess we can't see the same
So you're blurring my vision
You're rushing to find a life I can't live
The time that we've spent
Was it all just for this?
A dream and a nightmare of bliss

Just stop for a minute
I can't keep up with all this
Movement
We're burning out

Just stop for a minute
I can't keep on wasting
These movements
On falling down

Just stop for a minute
I can't keep up with all this
Movement
We're burning out

Just stop for a minute
Just stop I can already tell how it's playing out

We were never really there
Just a flash of heat
A bright idea of something we could never reach
Now it's time to be free
