Counterparts - The Disconnect lyrics

All of our lives we’ve been
Told what to believe
"Nothing is perfect" so what’s
The point of purpose?
The line that separates the weak
From us who truly care
Is one I don’t intend to cross
The heart of man beats but
Only in greedy hands
And it seems that most are still content
Where most are comfortable
Accepting insignificance
We strive to find the effort within

You open up your eyes, and open up your mind
You will be exposed, to a world as cold
As those who are left to populate it
Two decades spent swallowing lie, after lie
Has sparked a fire in my heart
And the time has come to spread the flame

We can’t continue wasting time
Day after day trying to find
A new means of escape
We can’t continue wasting time day after day

I do it day after day
I do it day after fucking day
And I can’t face the disconnect
I’ll shed the dead weight and rise
And I can’t face the disconnect
I’ll shed the dead weight and rise

I never thought
That I would need to justify a reason
To continue on in this life I lead
I fucking hate the world
I fucking hate myself
I swore I'd never fucking feel like this

And I hate the world and I hate myself
I hate the world
