Lost
When the storm hits, you will leave this
Awake
Time will pass through, and break you
Broken, or so you
say
Nobody bought that fable anyway
So calloused, and so naAve
To wear a heart of fiction on your sleeve
Bury every sign
of life in filth and hollow trend
And push against progression on the path of logicas end
Like tears flowing
upward
[Chorus:]
Lost, an aimless soul
When the storm hits, you will leave this
Awake to wasted days
Time will pass
through, and break you
This wreckage youall never be
If you were raised in Hell youad own the sea
Donat tell me itas not your
choice
You sold a blessed future for some noise
Bury every sign of life in filth and hollow trend
And push against
progression on the path of logicas end
Like tears flowing upward
[Chorus]
With every waking second you front, another
real life loses ground
Ten thousand arms outstretched and you have the nerve to strike them all
No reason to coexist?
No reason
to exist
[This song is about irresponsible living, specifically amongst young people. Iave noticed a trend, particularly up here in
the Northwest, of people in their late teens and 20as that have rebelled against the lifestyles of their parents and have adopted a life
of street living and poor work ethic. To someone that doesnat know any better, youad think by looking at these kids that theyave fell on
hard times and that they mustave been abandoned at some point. What I have come to understand is that they have willingly abandoned what
they had, in exchange for a trendy lifestyle of recklessness. To pretend that your life is in dire straits is an insult to people that
actually have fell on hard times.
I cannot find fault in someone who chooses to live a simple life devoid of monetary focus,
however, I think in most of these cases, these kids are wasting their lives by merely floating through, contributing nothing to society.
Theyave become so disgusted with successful living that theyave made a complete 180 into very careless territory. They are able bodied,
but take pride in doing nothing.
Iam not implying that successful living is Christian living at all. I am however saying that to
take for granted what God has blessed you with is foolish. To take a vow of poverty in the name of the Lord can be commendable, but the
motives behind this scene Iam speaking of are strictly based on fad.
And you and the Levites and the aliens among you shall rejoice
in all the good things the Lord your God has given to you and your household.
-Deuteronomy 26: 11]
