We are the Light

lyrics

We are the Light

Stay with me when the sun goes down,
The leaves turned red, our hearts are bound,
We'll live forever, nothing can change,
We're safe in our hovel, keep the world at bay.

The time passed so quickly, like our love,
Our dreams are crumbling, along with the walls
I could have done better, I'll pass you the blame
We dull our senses and trap our pain.

We deserve to own him, unscrew his mind, put it out on display,
The baying mob demand, your fear, love, and soul,
Take the cure. Take the cure. Take care.

We are the light, we have the best life,
The world, the future are ours!
Happiness is all around us,
We love and we'll grow and succeed.

I watched you closely, through the years,
My camera sweating through the pain of your tears,
I could have helped you, I saw it go wrong,
But the ratings and pay cheques calmed my tongue.

I'm glad that we own you, it's endless fun,
I play with your feelings, the mob get what they want,
The light in your life, now faded and stained
You were the light, now you're nothing, know your place!

We float your feelings, they’re ours to sell, throw your inhibitions away,
My dear love demands, your fear, hope, and soul,
Take the cure. Take the cure. Take care.

You are not the light, your world is mine,
You barely exist, you are nothing,
I'll take what's mine and you will obey... child,
My world owes you nothing.

Grief through the years,
Plain for all to see,
There was always you,
Flawed, Fractured, Fragile... Screwed!
