This is the way we live our life. Our hands in our pockets,
our heads to the skies. Tell me again my way of thinking
is wrong, oh the inherent nature of your judgement, contradicting
to the core. I'll forget about the naysayers and continue my sins,
living my life in spite of promise, not awaiting it's reward. Oh
the good inside of a man, with the vision of paradise at the end,
how the hell can you tell us we are bound for nine circles?
I await the tide, with my feet in the sand and the sun on my skin.
All of that time wasted hoping for something better, we fail
to make the status quo something we can be happy with. So desperate
to replace our misery with Elysian fields, we'll abandon our
brother if it means stepping foot past the gates. Well the only
pearly whites I need are the teeth behind my smile, and a kiss
every once in a while. The only promise I long for is the promise
of love, not the promise of forever. I am at home, I am comfortable
with the end, because I didn't sit around waiting for life to begin.
How can we make it right, if we're all so blind? Turn away the lure
of the stars, make your heart grow in the earth, the ground beneath
your tired legs, and you'll never have to run again.
In spite of faith, in the light of hope, I'll know that my road always goes home. And I'll let the light in my heart shine, without the promise of a world that's not mine.
