Voice Of Reason

Brother, 
This is not the life 
You envisioned for yourself 
You cry: Where am I? Where am I? 
Your graceless downfall 
Can be blamed only on you 
You have been blind, since the beginning of time 
Those good intentions have failed you once again 
Leaving you to asking yourself: where is my ever after, ever after? 
It took more than intention to build the pyramids 
It took more than intention to discover the planets 
We the concrete of mind 
Aren’t satisfied with the apathy in your hearts 
We the concrete of mind 
Persist where others will falter 
We the concrete of mind 
Will never stop 
We the concrete of mind 
Won’t take our lives for granted anymore 
Filled with doubt and desperation 
You’ve lost control 
For you I sympathize 
Living in a world that’s shaded grey 
With a heart of gold 
You’ve found no silver lining 
I was just like you 
I never realized 
I had the answers all along 
When I felt that I couldn’t handle my dreams 
comforting shoulder 
Your hand in mine 
I just needed to hear myself say 
You know the way 
We have the strength inside 
To bring about a greater happiness 
For ourselves, and those we love 
Confide in yourself first 
Rely on yourself first 
You are the only one 
Who can inspire you 
I‘ve struggled through misfortune 
My slate is clean 
I’ve turned a blind eye towards distractions 
In myself I truly believe 
We’ve built these machines as mirrors, as a way to understand ourselves 
The truth behind what really concerns us, is our only innate advice 
No stone tablet, outline or doctrine 
Could bring meaning to your life 
An impression is all you need, 
It was the only thing we brought with us 
You know the way 
Inner strength transcends the limits of grace 
There is a purpose in every breath that you take 
Although the waters may get rough, tidal waves would never be enough 
To deviate the course of your beliefs 
To recreate the foundation that you have laid
