Love Versus Lust

In this world Every heart craves to feel loved We pour our hearts out We scream out loud The silence kills us all Our soul begins to fall My heart is heavy For this broken generation We search for truth In a failing creation We sacrifice our purity We see greed as maturity Sell our souls To make us feel whole How much longer will I feed my lust I know I need to find real love Life is so much more than our next release Intimacy is worth so much more than what we choose to see We drown our sorrows As we grow numb we become hollow Question God from within As we choose to live in sin In order to enjoy ourselves Why is it that we must lose ourselves Every person has a story to tell Somewhere along the line we have all fell We judge a book by the cover But choose to look past how they suffer We have all lived in pain We have all been lost in the rain But I beg us all Let's not lose ourselves under the weight of it all There will be a brighter day My heart is heavy For this broken generation We search for truth In a failing creation We sacrifice our purity We see greed as maturity Sell our souls To make us feel whole
