No Utopia 02:41
We are lying to ourselves We say we have the beast under control An unfounded faith in human nature A nature that isn’t shared by all And yet we still believe we’re gaining ground But one man’s paradise must be another’s hell History has shown we never see it coming The things that keep us clawing at these broken walls We sacrifice each other to the god of progress But we forget that chaos hasn’t yet been overthrown
2.
My life is in my hands Falling through my fingers If I keep reaching out for more, all will slip away We tell ourselves that there is more Some elusive end But all that we’ve created are these chains I have barely moved an inch All I’ve made is wasted time My life is in my hands Now clench them into fists Now is the time to realise some things cannot be found A life forever searching will yield an empty shell Please do not waste all of this precious time Or you will be nothing but a hollow log burning away
3.
Wealth and admiration are the drugs But we have been numbed to their effects We have all been hooked on a life of discontent But we cannot question this We’re in over our heads Success will only leave us searching Will leave us forever wanting more Will we ever stop and realise that these dreams were never really ours? And we keep on spinning inside of the wheel But we have lost sight of what it means to be fulfilled If we do not decide how much is enough There can be no end to this until the end of us I refuse to tread this path I will find another way I will not live for your future I will live for my today Breaking this addiction has left me lost and alone But I reject your expectations as they were never my own
4.
Now we have revealed the damage we have done But there is not wisdom enough to live beyond our nature We say that we’re willing, but we do not sacrifice We say that we’re trying, but we do nothing at all To save ourselves To save this place We’re coming to an end Can we break the cycle? We have lost control We have tipped the scale Trapped in the machine Beyond our comprehension We are in too deep to reverse this dissolution All that we can do now is keep these wheels in motion We have built these shackles, these restraints Constrained by the body of the snake Intentions cannot penetrate We must leave this wreckage in our wake If we do not realise how blind we truly are Then empathy goes hand in hand with the evils we deplore We are far too willing to pass on the blame As we refuse to see the destruction in our name
5.
Fear, ignorance and greed have built the enemy But the wise man is he who sees himself in every other Will we ever learn to hate the idea and not the messenger? For the ignorant man has never really made up his own mind Ideas are built by culture They are not our own To hate the man predisposed Soon we must learn to hate our own The self-righteous man, so sure of what he sees Is so willing to harm all of those who disagree This time you may find yourself on the right side of the divide But never forget that history will make a guilty man of all We cannot seem to see that we could have been our enemy In another time, another place So now we fight hatred with hate Do you really think that violence breeds true change? To follow this path is to suffer all the same To kill the unlearned; crush those who haven’t heard Will sustain this cycle endlessly
