Parallels - As I Lay Dying

We are all comatose

We are overfed and under

Undernourished

Yearning for something more

Never starving yet

Never quite satisfied

Carnal

But without useful flesh or mind yeah

I am a walking contradiction

That's found consistency

Consuming everything

All without producing sustenance

In the parallels we struggle

Struggle to upkeep

There is a better way

For us to be set free

From all it is we crave

There must be more to life

Than to simply stay alive

To simply stay alive

We are not the same

As I hope to show

There is a better way

If we just let go

We are not

We are not the same

We are not

We are not the same let go

In the tension between

Devouring want or simple need

It's clear the only lines

Between the ones we preserve

We are not the same

As I hope to show

There is a better way

If we just let go

We are not

We are not the same

We are not

We are not the same

Let go

We are not the same

And in the parallels

We struggle to upkeep

There's a better way for us to be

For us to be set free

And in the parallels

(Parallels)

We struggle to upkeep

(Struggle to upkeep)

There's a better way for us to be

For us to be set free

We are not the same

As I hope to show

There is a better way

If we just let go

We are not

We are not the same

We are not

We are not the same

We are not the same
