I've been running low on sympathy, leaning on a new perspective
The stiffness in my neck from viewing the world sideways, studying the selection
Neglection of time, spreading through the false notion of stillness
The end is painted on the walls and we are destined to be the illness
War in laughter, throwing rocks and hiding hands with grins sowed onto faces
Killing each other for the prize when we don't know what the race is
Passing judgment and sending him to his death
The consciousness lost, because of his experience
Two sinners, two killers, waiting for their fate
We are so quick to question the love and accept the hate
Authenticity is lost in the sea of forgery, with the desperation to be great
We are so quick to sell ourselves to get a sliver of that taste
Neglection of time, so you live in the moment
Neglection of faith, so you cannot focus
Coming down from that high, you are left to reminisce
And for some odd reason, you start to miss
The knowledge of the Word that lives inside every human wanting to thrive
Do you not realize?
You can drown in your sins and say that you can swim
But your breath is cut short by your own consciousness
Your hunger for wealth is suddenly starved
When you tilt your head back and thank the stars
To the people in the world dying for a loan
Never forget that this is not your home
The riches, the egos, are killing this world
The odds are cut slim when you don't have a cure
It angers the sinners, does not make a difference
They hate that the Word is worth more than millions
Your world can be full, yet still feel so hollow
who am I to tell you what to follow?
