As I Lay Dying - Parallels lyrics

We are all comatose
We are overfed and under, undernourished
Yearning for something more
Never starving yet never quite satisfied
Carnal but without useful flesh or mind

I am a walking contradiction
That's found consistency
Consuming everything
All without producing sustenance

In the parallels we struggle
Struggle to upkeep
There is a better way for us to be set free
From all it is we crave
There must be more to life
Than to simply stay alive
To simply stay alive

We are not the same as I hope to show
There is a better way if we just let go
We are not, we are not the same
We are not, we are not the same let go

In the tension between devouring
Want or simple need
It's clear the only lines between
The ones we preserve

We are not the same as I hope to show
There is a better way if we just let go
We are not, we are not the same
We are not, we are not the same let go
We are not the same

And in the parallels we struggle to upkeep
There's a better way for us to be
For us to be set free
And in the parallels we struggle to upkeep
There's a better way for us to be
For us to be set free

We are not the same as I hope to show
There is a better way if we just let go
We are not, we are not the same
We are not, we are not the same let go
We are not the same
