Soul-Sick Nation

Words of reason elude fragile minds The embrace of pain offers indemnity The knowing victim self-prophesied A life wrought from their own misery A soul-sick nation Of children lost and never found A soul-sick nation Is burning to the fucking ground Wherever we go wherever we live We're haunted by our past Our war-like minds in times of peace are agony We want to move on we want to forgive And take the higher path But madness kills tranquility A soul-sick nation Of children lost and never found A soul-sick nation Is burning to the fucking ground The ones that exists to defeat us Are demons that feast on the meek They whisper their words from within us To end it all These voices inside that could free us Live in uneasy harmony They fight to destroy or uplift us Which will you follow now? Wherever we go wherever we live We're haunted by our past Our war-like minds in times of peace are agony We want to move on we want to forgive And take the higher path But madness kills tranquility Horrified by a wretched life of stagnation We slowly doom ourselves to walk the earth alone Selfish act of sickening desperation Start anew; subdue the pain that's never gone Rewrite the past; provide your justification Self-medicate until we are numb Salt the wounds of petty condemnations Never own the fact of what we have done Can we save ourselves From a life of torment? A vicious circle with no end to come Masochistic acts Hinder our fulfillment Thwarts the will and our hope to move on Horrified by a wretched life of stagnation We slowly doom ourselves to walk the earth alone Selfish act of sickening desperation Start anew; subdue the pain that's never gone Rewrite the past; provide your justification Self-medicate until we are numb Salt the wounds of petty condemnations Never own the fact of what we have done Can we save ourselves From a life of torment? A vicious circle with no end to come Masochistic acts Hinder our fulfillment Thwarts the will and our hope to move on Keep running further and further away from the demons you hide Your shadow will follow you Pick up the pieces of your shattered fragile mind The shards you conceal still remain broken Wherever we go wherever we live We're haunted by our past Our war-like minds in times of peace are agony We want to move on we want to forgive And take the higher path But madness kills tranquility A soul-sick nation Of children lost and never found A soul-sick nation Is burning to the fucking ground
