Ordinary Life - System Syn

We saw our future lying in the road

Red spreading through the pavement

Steam rising in the cold

We haven’t been this dead in all our lives

Sometimes I cannot tell if we survived

Are we ghosts drifting in this ocean

Of what we’re sold as ordinary life

I was told that I should have emotion

How did I force myself to live this lie

A paper cut across my paper heart

You’re standing there indifferent while I am torn apart

We haven’t been this dead in all our lives

Sometimes I cannot tell if we survived

It doesn’t feel like change will ever come

Cut off the serpent’s head just to spite the tongue

Are we ghosts drifting through the ocean

Of what we’re sold as ordinary life

I was told that I should have emotion

How did I force myself to live this lie

Steam rising in the cold

Red spreading through the pavement

I realized in that moment — bodies lying in the road

This was not my path

Are we ghosts drifting in this ocean

Of what we’re sold as ordinary life

I was told that I should have emotion

How did I force myself to live this lie
