Lyrics
Awake (To A Life Of Misery)
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.
Thought trained to succeed.
From here on the pain begins.
We're maggots, cast in the sea of struggle -
Bait for the big fish.
Crawl, forever crawling,
Faith holds no answers,
Ravenous - they greedily suck away your will to even argue.
A belief in something better,
Downtrodden hopes still linger,
Faces bear the same shallow fear of forgotten prosperity.
Powers change.
The promise of reward,
Declarations false and injust,
Tame insecurity.
A dreamlike notion that life eases by.
Cushioning the blow of impending reality,
Aimlessness is flogging us - awake!
