lyrics

wondering, for what is life
pondering the meaning of it all
Finding no purpose at the root
believing to do as you please

the pressure
breaks the body
giving in
to bait

The world watches on
following broken paths
as they eat the fruit
from toxic trees

When a drink comes my way
(I don't fight it off
why should I care)
When the world offers shame
(I don't fight if off
why should I care)
When instinct overpowers
(I don't fight it off
why should I care)
When I see suffering
(I don't fight it off
why should I care)

the only medicine is time
let the wounds grow old
let it fall uncontrolled
soon hope it healed

the pressure
breaks the body
giving in
to bait

The world watches on
following broken paths
as they eat the fruit
from toxic trees

The world watches on
following broken paths
as they eat the fruit
from toxic trees

Why do they fall
when will they learn
are they conscious at all
for change we yearn
