about
(ideals and realities are often pitted against each other in life. the struggle to figure out what is right
and fitting is constantly butting heads with what is now and necessary. responsibilities lead to patterns,
patterns lead to habits, habits sometimes lead to stagnancy. it's easy to get stuck on our inability to find
ambition. while i dream of grander things for me and mine i am also working on finding contentment in the
life we have here and now.)
lyrics
the sun rises and the sun sets
children grow bigger, families sink smaller
the trees will bloom and the leaves will fall
acquired beliefs tempered with insecurity
habits change, changes cease
severed heads of households roll
a son may rise, while some may settle
while others heed the trumpet's call
time to rearrange, as time might heal the wounds
unless the illusion of time helps us stay the same
what the fuck will it take to provoke our wills awake?
if idealism can't compensate can we allow ourselves to find
contentment in shallow breaths with squinted eyes
or celebrations where we're asked to wear neck-ties?
can life by itself bear enough fruit to sustain
our joys and our pains? is it enough?
what the fuck will it take to provoke our wills awake?
i keep telling myself it's never too late to find
the stars will shine and the stars will burn out
our hearts will someday cease to beat in the shadow of our doubts
as the pendulum swings
closer to severing
we turn our eyes inward
it's time to rearrange
to embrace change
we are not slaves
