Our Vices - Halcyon Days

human hands

moved the earth

and the sky

then forced the fall

our hearts connects our fates

what did you say

to make us accept the blame?

to make it go away

the cure we cannot negotiate

remove the air from my lungs

as i sigh i disbelief

looking back

through time and space

ignites the flame of our decay

the cataclysm of our self-indulgent ways

we need to find

some piece of mind

our will to live

and sacrifice

despite our lusts

despite our fears

corrupted minds are in the air

open your eyes

and see the signs of what you have been missing

for the better part of your life

a city that sleeps

it’s not real

it hasn’t been for centuries

since we invented

this perpetual motion machine

four corners

none explored

everyday we spend

looking for more

eyes open wide

kept fixed on the wall

generations made from nothing at all

looking back

through time and space

ignites the flame of our decay

the cataclysm of our self-indulgent ways

we need to find

some piece of mind

our will to live

and sacrifice

despite our lusts

despite our fears

corrupted minds are in the air

corrupted minds are in the air

remove the air from my lungs

as i sigh i disbelief
