Ambitions, Greed & Fatigue

Ambitions grow crooked

If you just let them be

And I have grown tired

Of swimming upstream

And now I couldn't tell you

What's ambition and what's greed

Is it the same as giving up

To say what will be will be?

Some say that heaven's the endpoint

And time its gravity

And we're just going through the motions

And no one's really free

But that's a story they sold you

To learn to live with defeat

Because a prayer's just a thought, you know

It never leaves the meat

They say time's a thief

I don't know why

Only brought me relief

The gift of knowing

Can't dream without sleep

And letting go of it all

Shines a light on the deceit

They say time's a thief

Well, I don't know why

Only brought me relief

The gift of knowing

Can't dream without sleep

And letting go of it all

Shines a light on the deceit

Ambitions grow crooked

If you just let them be

And I have grown tired

Of swimming upstream

And now I couldn't tell you

What's ambition and what's greed

Is it the same as giving up

To say what will be will be?
