Lessons
(专辑: The Book Of Traps And Lessons - 2019)
I
see the
truth Even here, in the
lies of the
city It comes for me with its hands out When I
can handle it the
least When the
madness has consumed me And I've mistaken it for my nature And I
have given myself over to the
things that leave me weak Each day I
wake with the
fury to change things But with each hour that passes, that fury subsides I've cramped myself in to such tight little boxes I
hope that I
live, but I'm not sure this is life I've seen the
lions turn to cubs And I've seen the
hunters turn to prey The
lessons will come again tomorrow If they're not learned today I
have seen the
lions turn to cubs And I
have seen the
hunters turn to prey The
lessons will come again tomorrow If they're not learned today All things are singing, life is a
chorus It all gets so deafening sometimes Exhausted, my ears have grown numb To the
song in all things But sunlight on water Kissing at the
bus stop in the
rain Or the
wind through my fingers when I
raise my palms in the
dark It sings to the
parts that are still wild, still untamed I
thought I'd learned my lesson once I
learned it till it thumped my head to numbness Yearning it would let me rest And then I
learned it more, I
learned it again And then, just when I
thought I
had it done I
found myself mid-mistake, realizing I'd not yet begun I
have seen the
lions turn to cubs I
have seen the
hunters turn to prey Our lessons will come again tomorrow If they're not learned today I've seen the
lions turn to cubs And I
have seen the
hunters turn to prey The
lessons will come again tomorrow Cause they weren't learnt today You would think that over time Our lessons would be learned But time and time again, we find Our lessons have returned And even though we've sworn repent And promised no repeat We find ourselves back here again With the
same old ragged drum to beat Saying, how many times must we be shown The
outcome of the
pattern? How many times must we be shown The
outcome of the
pattern?
