Adjusted - Escaping The Rat Race lyrics

rate me

Confusion and fear joined forces against us once again<br />

Here we stand all alone and fight for no one but ourselves<br />

We seek and we find - we fuck up then disappear<br />

We're not that strong but we're still here<br />

<br />

Floating around by ourselves like a ship without it's sail<br />

Far from solid ground we simply take it day by day<br />

And recite all the wrongs that's been made over the years<br />

Another lesson learned and failed<br />

<br />

A monument of every ones never ending search<br />

Is there a pill to cure the curse once we've already been broken?<br />

<br />

Why don't we see what we've got?<br />

Life won't be there if you're not<br />

The silent war within ourselves makes us<br />

Believe there's nothing to gain<br />

By trying to be who we can be. We choose to pretend<br />

<br />

Would we be proud if we looked back on all the things we've done<br />

If our wings where cut off would we still be standing tall?<br />

We can listen to warnings but will we ever learn?<br />

Maybe it's too much to take<br />

<br />

Lost in a maze where it's crucial to show you've got control<br />

Put up walls, fake a smile; don't cry unless you're all alone<br />

We are kings of our lives but we're slaves under our pride<br />

We sit upon a broken throne<br />

<br />

A monument of every ones never ending search<br />

Is there a pill to cure the curse once we've already been broken?<br />

<br />

Why don't we see what we got?<br />

Life won't be there if you're not<br />

The silent war within ourselves makes us<br />

Believe there's nothing to gain<br />

By trying to be who we can be. We choose to pretend
