I the Mighty - Psychomachia lyrics

Have you ever heard that voice of
Reason whisper in your ear?
Oh, did it say the things
You never want to hear? Tell me
Where'd that angel perched upon
Your shoulder go?
Did you pick her up and swallow her whole?
And do you ever miss the balance
Of the back and forth or is it peaceful now
Without the extra noise? Tell me
Where'd that devil perched upon
On your shoulder go?
Did it make your head it's home?

Wouldn't you love to be inspired?
Let the thought erode your fears
Is it enough to be admired?
Does it get you through the years? (Oh)

Stay calm, you've got to carry on
Oh, even with the weight of all you've done
How does it feel to know they look up to you
'Cause they're all so young?
And that's why the charges come, oh
I wanna know
How many memories do you pray to forget?
Tell me, were they worth it?

Wouldn't you love to be inspired?
Let the thought erode your fears
Is it enough to be admired?
Does it get you through the years?
Well, I can't wait to
Watch your empire crumble
Can't wait to watch the walls cave in
For only when all you have is rubble
Can you truly build again?

If you spend all of your
Time feeling you're empty inside
Then you should question everything
You know about if you spend all of your
Time ignoring every sign
Then you should question how you'll
Ever make it out hey, give me a reason not
To cause some unrest tell the press
Stop your checks till you're homeless
Hey, give me a reason you're entitled to this
I'll bet you question how you'll ever
Oh, nd the levy's 'bout to break, yeah
You let the discord build 'til
You're sick from the static
And the devil in your head will yell
"Careful, better be careful what you wish for
Careful, better be careful what you wish"

Wouldn't you love to be inspired?
Let the thought erode your fears
Is it enough to be admired?
Does it get you through the years?
Well, I can't wait to
Watch your empire crumble
Can't wait to watch the walls cave in
For only when all you have is rubble
Can you truly build again?

Careful, better be careful what you wish for
Careful, better be careful what you wish
