Lyrics
Profit Motive
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.
You gave your life away in hopes for something more.
You gave your life away... your life away...
Did you think you would find the answer to questions centuries old by sitting on your hands?
...by sitting on your hands?
You won?t find your answers.
Say what you came here to say.
All eyes are fixed on ruins.
If there?s a hope for change to be made then now?s your time to deliver... to deliver.
Rise, rise above.
The calm is wearing thin.
Rise above.
I feel this growing.
This, this is love.
It?s what we?re made for.
This is love.
We?re never backing down.
You gave your life away in hopes for something more.
You gave your life away.
This time I am so sincere.
This time I am so sincere.
You blot out the sun with your mouth open wide,
and built a spiritless empire to reach your heaven.
You?re stumbling, you?re tripping now.
How worthless this all seems.
And your time is running out.
How worthless this all seems.
Take an axe to the root, cut out your eye.
Take an axe to the root, cut out your eye.
The towers crumble.
The lowly sing.
We all sing...
This is me, I know it?s not what you wanted.
This is me, my heart is so sincere.
This is me, I know it?s not what you wanted.
This is me, my heart is so sincere.
