Hedonistic

Crawling, scratching, chasing A hedonistic vicious lie Burning, yearning, seeking Purpose to numb the pain of life Cultivate a life of wanting acclimate to senseless pride Want to believe in something; dreams, left behind Slowly wilting, fading Now choose to live before you die We're drawn to light in the darkness Just like insects to flickering flames Optimistic dogma; a need to feel complete Contentment never obtained We live our lives in the darkness We strive for joy that seems so far away A spiritual sickness infecting vacant minds Now drives us insane Stare blind into the flames of regret Gaze deep into the embers Achieve the goals you have set Then you wonder, "what's next to come?" A new form of worship contrived To assume control over all of our lives Ravenous vultures that feed on our hearts Enslavement conditioned into matters of our wants Look at me and what I've become Imprisoned by the promise of hope A new form of worship contrived To assume control over all of our lives Ravenous vultures that feed on our hearts Enslavement conditioned into matters of our wants Crawling, scratching, chasing A hedonistic vicious lie Burning, yearning, seeking Purpose to numb the pain of... Slowly wilting, fading Will you live before you die? Toiling, failing, repeating Mistakes you've made a thousand times Always wanting, always needing You were robbed of more than life itself
