Seth Thompson - Eight lyrics

[Verse 1] March 25th, 1911 Convenience and greed took their tolls on humanity And it pains my soul in the present day Those people worked for a better life Those women, those kids I hope that they found it I hope they all found it Was it worth it? Moving forward meant leaving our morals Because only the good die young... [Verse 2] You "prevented theft" but prevented life Some escaped the flames But not one escaped gravity And you never saw the gravity of the situation Those sidewalks painted your self portrait You disgusting excuses for dignified men I'll never know if you learned your lesson Not sure you could see it behind your piles of profit You didn't see those kids jump to their d**h You didn't see them so their life's not important [Bridge] Has anything changed? Or do we just repeat? (2x) We just repeat [Verse 3] I'm here to learn and think Not climb your worthless ladder New laws set in play But does it matter when we restart the process anyway Did we learn anything? Or are we recreating that generation of monsters Who don't know how to think Who are doomed to repeat So climb your ladders But make sure that they don't reach eight stories Cause then you'll see The product of your greed [Verse 4] Devour pride Devour lives Because to you Life is cheap And when it's convenient It's worth nothing
