lyrics

Pavement, laid down
For miles in all directions
Lines, bent, mark out
The ways we go, reflections
Of the lives that we lead

It's funny how we justify
Our self destructive way of life
Endlessly consuming
So as to satisfy
Our
ever-growing
over-bearing
ego-centric minds

I will not stand for this
I believe everyone has a purpose
So, to you, I will say
If you have the heart to simply stay

Refuse the things that you don't need

Oh yeah well it's apparent to me That we have been growing apart so gradually
I will stand firmly on the
Other side of the valley
Measuring the divide

I will not stand for this
I believe everyone has a purpose
These words have become my mission
Please know I may
Tremble when I speak

Foots steps, breakdown
Our permeation
Essence, torn out
By worldly expectations

Oh yeah well it's apparent to me That we have been growing apart so gradually
I will stand firmly on the
Other side of the valley
Measuring the divide
I've been there, I've been by your side
All of this time, not knowing what road ahead hides
Forget your destination
Refuse the things that you don't need

Separate yourself
From this senseless way of living
Remove the lens
Fixed to your eyes, to hide the lies
