Lyrics
Ize Of The World
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.
I think I know what you mean
But watch what you say
'Cause they'll be trying to knock you down in some way
Sometimes it feels like the world
Is falling asleep
How do you wake someone up
From inside a dream?
Your mind would wander and search
For its place in the night
Your body followed this feeling
Like following light
Once that your music was born
It followed you 'round
And then it gave your activities meaning and let you be loud.
You're sad but you smile
It's not in your eyes
Your eyeballs don't change
It's the muscles around your eyes
An egg to fertilize
A pulse to stabilize
A body to deodorize
A life to scrutinize
A child to criticize
Young adults to modernize
Citizens to terrorize
Generations to desensitize
Your dreams are sweet and obsessed
And you're overworked
You're overtaken by visions
of being overlooked
How disappointed would
D(ead)I(dealisitc)D(esperate)I(inventor)P(ioneer)P(hilosophers) be
To see such power in our hands
All wasted on greed?
And I am a prisoner to instincts
Or do my thoughts
Just live as free and detatched
As boats to the dock?
Just like when music is born
And detached from your heart.
Is your free time to free minds or
For falling apart?
Night after night
You turn out the light
You don't fall asleep right away."
"Are we, are we done?
A desk to organize
A product to advertise
A market to monopolize
Movies stars to idolize
Leaders to scandalize
Enemies to neutralize
No time to apologize
Fury to tranquilize
Weapons to synchronize
Cities to vaporize
