The World Reversed

The World 03:29
We like to think we’re smart We like to think that we advance Compiled information isn’t taken to heart It’s in the home, it’s the hand But I’m not gonna sit around and wait Is it just a moment in the life? We accept what they give, and give in Is it a reflection of the times? Modern minds Modern age We are indifferent to change We don’t intend to act Unless we’re told to pretend We don’t intend on challenging the world as it spins But we’ll protect our right to stand But I’m not gonna sit around and wait The human is water, is fire, is peace, and pain. It’s simple, but the closer that we look, we find it harder to explain. Gaps in generation after generation Frame by frame

Stranded on a beach each night, Kept awake, one contemplates; “if the universe is not finite… how much of it deserves my faith?” How do you know What’s out beyond? How do you know what you, Oh what you are? Woken after a moment’s time, Still married to this ugly face… It’s not a dream, that earth will die, And heaven isn’t a real place.

Temperance 03:17
Raise your hand If you think that most people are senseless Some in fact, have unbearable personalities Raise your hand If you’ll admit there’s no plan and accept that there’s something more to the story Now, do it again If you misunderstand Reject it all If the television should tell you the future Assess it all For there’s a wisdom to be gathered from life Assess yourself It’s for the good of your health And self-awareness is becoming essential Now do it again If you still misunderstand me Compare yourself to the mirror image you hold It so tight, through the flesh and to the bone It’s alright just admit that you’re slipping What would you tell your reflection Ten years ago? So if you could see you now Would you believe you’ve found A life walked worth the veil?
