lyrics

Our ears are ringing with a sound so curious
resonates reason in our brains
a trace of treason flowing through our veins
we're singing our voices furious
fueled by the fire in our hearts
but ruled by salaries and shopping carts
we say this for those oblivious
when tides rise higher than before
and when the suns aren't shining anymore
betray this sense of remorse for us
we never felt quite like this
since ignorance is bliss we'll think this isn't real

we weren't ready for this
existence or its consequences
this world's a twisted place within us
we bite more than we can chew
indulgences instead of values
have become what we wanted
we wanted everything

the names of angels held less notorious
than the names of evil men at best
in mobs and gangs and slay the innocent
our children shall hold them glorious
and don their faces on their walls
and find then places on their pedestals
a future far from victorious
is likely what were headed for
unless we learn to live for something more
the answer so much more obvious
than why the moth flies to the flame
and why we're dancing while we're lame and falling over

we weren't ready for this
existence or its consequences
this world's a twisted place within us
we bite more than we can chew
indulgences instead of values
have become what we wanted
we wanted everything
