Parallels
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We are all comatose
We are overfed and under
Undernourished, yearning for something more
Never starving yet never quite satisfied
Carnal, but without useful flesh or mind, yeah
I am a walking contradiction that's found consistency
Consuming everything, all without producing sustenance
In the parallels we struggle
Struggle to upkeep
There is a better way for us to be set free
From all it is we crave
There must be more to life than to simply stay alive
To simply stay alive
We are not the same as I hope to show
There is a better way if we just let go
We are not
We are not the same
We are not
We are not the same
Let go
In the tension between devouring want or simple need
It's clear the only lines between the ones we preserve
We are not the same as I hope to show
There is a better way if we just let go
We are not
We are not the same
We are not
We are not the same
Let go
We are not the same
And in the parallels we struggle to upkeep
There's a better way for us to be
For us to be set free
And in the parallels (parallels)
We struggle to upkeep (struggle to upkeep)
There's a better way for us to be
For us to be set free
We are not the same as I hope to show
There is a better way if we just let go
We are not
We are not the same
We are not
We are not the same
Let go
We are not the same
