New Addicts-Broken Current

Shattered spirit, fractured promise, shattered self How do I find the silence inside me In a world I’m forced to face? It steals and steals, takes everything (Everything!) Drags me down, deeper and deeper (Down!) Watch me sink like iron Into an ocean of greed Where I am less And you are more Vanity turns into madness We choke down the lies they feed us (Swallow it!) We digest it, paint it pretty And confuse our love with lust Can we find another way? A path that fights the flow Resistance — the current Resistance, resistance, resistance, resistance (The current!) Ugliness, corruption Affection stripped down to surface skin Get me out Before I’m nothing but a memory Of who I was Get me the hell out (Get me out!) We’re deaf and blind to the scream of time We damn well refuse to hear We never learn to evolve We only lose the one I saw in the cursed mirror (Me!) The selfish, the narcissists Wading through shallow waters Get me out Before I’m nothing but a memory Of who I was Get me the hell out (Now!) “From a world that gives its all Night and day To turn me into everyone else” (Just like them!) Pull me out Of a heartless world Pull me out When they spot my hope And tear it apart (Tear it apart!) Pull me out Of a world we built To serve our selfish, damned selves Can you tell me Where does love belong? Do you remember What love is? (Remember?)
