Sweatshop Union - Breath lyrics
[Sweatshop Union - Breath lyrics]
Did you want the house, the dog
The white picket fence
The wife with three kids that
Helped your life make sense
The friends, petty trends, the mercedes benz
Keep the picture on the wall
But, it's all just pretend
I thought I had it all figured out
But time's an empty hole and
It becomes filled with doubt
Born a man, hopin to become the boy
Lived a life, only to be destroyed
From birth to death, the baby's first steps
Didn't affect the purest state
That we have left best to start slow though
Pressure becomes past
The innocence is lost and
Ignorance grows vast
It all happens so fast when
You're facin to the wind
You better count the chips before it's
Time to cash em in
Cuz by then you'll realize that
You've lost your drive
While workin a 9 to 5 until you turn 95
Sick and tired
Know why it's time to quench the fire
While speakin of how you felt
You can call yourself retired
The live wire is dead, left quiet as kept
It's the birth, the death
The old man's last breath
(the old man saidthis is how it all began)
It's perverse, from birth to the hearse
Immersed in a search tryin
To quench our thirst
If I only learn one thing
It's the truth hurts
It would all make sense livin life in reverse
It's perverse, from birth to the hearse
Immersed in a search tryin
To quench our thirst
And if I only know one thing
It's the truth hurts
It would all make sense livin life in reverse
I am but a reoccuring cycle of light
Bound to this physical vessel until
I reach the afterlife
And I might escape as my soul is undressed
I'll fall through all the answers that
I saw this time press
Wait and find a different person
Staring in the mirror
Left to pull my life together from
The pieces of a stranger's dream
A vague haze of past days last breath
Sun sets, same story, new day, next scene
It's just bickering energy trading places
More like repeating different names
And changing faces
The soul's eternal but the body soon wasted
Walk into the new light as
The past is slowly faded
I'm falling from earth
Return through rebirth
Carry body, open wings
A freedom far from all the hurt
So when my cycle's complete
I'll return to innocence
With nothing else to guide me but
The traces of my inner sense
It's perverse, from birth to the hearse
Immersed in a search tryin
To quench our thirst
If I only learn one thing
It's the truth hurts
It would all make sense livin life in reverse
It's perverse, from birth to the hearse
Immersed in a search tryin
To quench our thirst
And if I only learn one thing
It's the truth hurts
It would all make sense livin life in revers
The white picket fence
The wife with three kids that
Helped your life make sense
The friends, petty trends, the mercedes benz
Keep the picture on the wall
But, it's all just pretend
I thought I had it all figured out
But time's an empty hole and
It becomes filled with doubt
Born a man, hopin to become the boy
Lived a life, only to be destroyed
From birth to death, the baby's first steps
