Cynicism, the taste of our lives
We're tired of hope so we long to be lost
A disease we hold so dear in our hearts
In you and me
Is it our fault for being so lazy
Is it our fate to be washed away?
Maybe these too are just the poison speaking
In you and me
Trying to outrun our choices
In doing so we swallow more poison
Refuse to see our true nature
So we feed it more poison
The poison of who we are
The weight of who we should be
Optimism, the fate of a fool
We cling to this view to get rid of hope
Suffering follows so we call that real
In you and me
Is it too late to listen to ourselves?
Is it not enough to just be with this?
Maybe this voice is just the poison speaking
In you and me
Is this song another way to justify our reasons to pick and choose?
Will we see, the perfect shape of what already is?
Trying to outrun our choices
In doing so we swallow more poison
Refuse to see our true nature
So we feed it more poison
The poison of seeing, feeling, wanting
Seeking, hating, getting
Breaking, losing, grieving
In you and me
In you and me
