Lately I've learned that it's alright to not be okay Propaganda on the streets, hey boy what's that you're reading It's plastering the walls and it's creating mass division If shepherd is to flock as is lies to an opinion Then the people take the blame for their substandard living We are the young, we are the impressionable Our legacy should be one of revolt So we turn a blind eye, why do we act so naive Accept but don't believe Lately I've learned that it's alright to not be okay Propaganda on the streets, hey boy what's that you're reading It's plastering the walls and it's creating mass division If shepherd is to flock as is lies to an opinion Then the people take the blame for their substandard living We are the young, the impressionable All we've gained, lost in vain It's justified, we're crucified, we'll outlive those who wronged our rights All we've gained, lost in vain A stranger to repent, self-preserving with no hindsight All we've gained, lost in vain So we turn a blind eye, why do we act so naive Accept but don't believe Lately I've learned that it's alright to not be okay We are the young, the impressionable

Hours at night, set aside, medicate me The daylight won't dim like it used to Self-indulgent sin, and I'm led astray The luring eyes of paradise just can't seem to change their gaze No longer running Infatuated with denial no pride or shame Promising that it would be different this time Born into reprise, there ain't no faith in your eyes, in your eyes oh no woah-oh Hours at night, set aside, medicate me The daylight won't dim like it used to Self-indulgent sin, and I'm led astray The luring eyes of paradise just can't seem to change their gaze An epidemic for the weaker mind, no fantasy A misconception of where to find paradise Hours at night, medicate me Medicate me, medicate me Left penniless with nothing to spare, just the cold of the air Suffocation has come to a hold, the stone is a lonely home Define what naive is, I always did since I was just a kid The critics met and low and behold, convictions on display for all Born into reprise, there ain't no faith in your eyes, in your eyes, in your eyes Born into reprise, there ain't ever been no faith in your eyes And I'll admit that I'm infatuated with denial (so spend a night, spend a night) Born into reprise, there ain't no faith in your eyes when you're in paradise

Seek out No forward-thinking, working class released A generation that's infected by the same disease On a fast track, you're seeking fame Narcissistic traits have never really looked so vain The present's lasting, the future's aged Blue collars are now sold in many shades A dreamers culture, on the pay roll It's little wonder that the world can't sleep at all Can't sleep at all No chance to close your eyes when you're inches from demise (oh) Ignorance is bliss when reality is redefined Blissful ignorance when reality is redefined It's redefined, seek out A crashing market, tumbling on the enslaved But fantasies are the currency that you trade A vision's value ain't what it seems, but still we wander up and down these streets Seek out, seek out, the shimmer lost in the grey Lost in the grey No chance to close your eyes when you're inches from demise (oh) Ignorance is bliss when reality is redefined Blissful ignorance when reality is redefined It's redefined Seek out, seek out, the shimmer lost in the grey Lost in the grey Why don't you find it A shimmer that's lost, lost in the grey Seek out, seek out, the shimmer lost in the grey Ignorance is bliss when reality is redefined Blissful ignorance when reality is redefined It's redefined

Memoirs 03:19
Running faces, black suits and ties The movies told me that a man doesn't cry A cold day in autumn blowing Golden blankets reminiscent of what was slipping by A sudden shake up, a violent quake, but a hole in the ground won't help me wake Cliche stings and it's dejavu Photographs collect the dust left in empty rooms So I say goodbye, questioning when I said hello I don't want to know Connection blossoms, then withers and dies Hollow bodies and regrets meet at final goodbyes Where it's too late, and there's no going back Drive across town to visit you now Mirror image fills my head with doubt Guilt's contagious, a hell of a drug And it's enough to keep you out from the gate above Knees shift the earth and palms pressed tight Words uttered under breath hoping to make things right An aimless practice given wasted chance Just another aching soul left in this great expanse Connection blossoms, then withers and dies Hollow bodies and regrets meet at final goodbyes Where it's too late, and there's no going back

They say practice what you preach, hey hey cause one day they'll listen You won't be made a martyr, they just need something to believe in A struggle for the sake of struggle is a struggle yeah, well I'm struggling You just wanted to write a best seller but it went from fact to fiction Eight years, well how long have you been dreaming I've lost count of these nights they're so seamless Confided - a room full of secrets Confided - ain't no god who can keep them Hang by a thread on every word you say This soapbox stand has seen much better days No silence, waging a war of words They say practice what you preach, hey hey cause one day they'll listen You won't be made a martyr, they just need something to believe in A struggle for the sake of struggle is a struggle yeah, well I'm struggling You just wanted to write a best seller but it went from fact to fiction Hang by a thread on every word you say This soapbox stand has seen much better days No silence, waging a war of words So hang me by the binds of the books which you cling to So tight, so preciously (I know your secrets) You just wanted to write a best seller but see fiction doesn't stack up in history I'm done
