ENLIGHTENMENT(?)

(album: SLEEPS SOCIETY - 2021)

If we're not suffering what happened yesterday,
We're worried about what's going to happen tomorrow
How many more times are we going to get tricked?
By society, and more importantly our own minds
Why are we suffering ourselves?
We've been fooled
To believing that there's something more to be had out there
Away from ourselves
We've been drinking poison thinking it's going to quench our thirst
Stop believing all the lies that you have to buy this, you have do this, you have to become this
You are the authority of your own existence
No one else!
Do you know that I'm going to die one day?
Do you know that we're all going to die one day?
We need to look at this now
Our mortality is the key to our freedom
You are enough
We are complete
Stand tall and know your fucking worth, together
Right now!

This is the part where we're done
We'll start over
All your negative thoughts
All you've lost, we'll let go
And if you feel like giving up
Then there's something I need you to know
That I'm here for you

Can we all just take a moment
And see what we've become
We're all so lost and we know it
We're tired of waking up and feeling numb
But we all just sit and wonder
How do we define our love?
The more that I discover
That there's no me without us

Spill divine alibis as we drink them in
Tired of waking up and feeling numb
That sinking feeling

Our raptures begging the question
Does it feel right?
Compassion's a weapon
Now we're helpless on the other side
The sonder whispers something I need you to know
That I'm here for you

Can we all just take a moment
And see what we've become
We're all so lost and we know it
We're tired of waking up and feeling numb
We all just sit and wonder
How do we define our love?
The more that I discover
That there's no me without us

What's your plan of attack?
The Plan B that we never had
Say what you mean if you mean what you say
In the year of the rat the blame hides in the rhetoric
All our errors now are perilous

This world is too much
It's time to give up the ghost in us
No stranger to grief
Enlighten me

It's time let it all out
There's no me without...

There's something ingrained
Something insatiable I can't betray
Something so deep that the tide doesn't change
It's OK to not be OK

I'm told that the world works in mysterious ways
And the more we search we get further away
It's OK to not be OK

There's something ingrained
Something insatiable I can't betray
Something so deep that the tide doesn't change
It's OK to not be OK

I'm told that the world works in mysterious ways
And the more we search we get further away
It's OK to not be OK
