A breaking in spirit, a breaking in promise, a breaking in me
How can I find the peace inside me of a world I can see
Taking and taking all for ourselves, taking and taking
And it's dragging me down, deeper and deeper
Watch me sink like a stone into a sea of selfishness
Where me is more and you is less.
The vanity, it's insanity
We eat the sh** that's fed to us
We stomach it and we embellish it and we confuse our love with lust
Can't we find another way?
The way that goes against the grain
Abstain
The grain.
The ugliness, the licentiousness, the love that's just skin deep
Please get me out before I become just a memory of what I used to be
Get me the f** out!
We're deaf and blind to our age's cry
We refuse to f**ing hear
Not learning to grow, just losing the one I used to see in the f**ing mirror
Can't we find another way?
The way that goes against the grain
Abstain
The grain.
The egoists, the narcissists, the waters we wade in
Please get me out before I become just a memory of what I used to be
Get me the f** out!
"Of a world that's doing its best, nightand day, to make you (me) everybody else" - E. E. Cummings
Please take me out of a world without any heart
Take me out
When they see my hope and then they rip it apart
Take me out of a world we built to serve our selfish f**ing selves
Can you tell me where does love fit in?
Remember what love is.
