Transcendence

lyrics

Be yourself in someone else’s skin. If the weight on your shoulders would move to your eyes, maybe then could you sleep at night? Be yourself in someone else’s skin. You’re a little late for the world to see that some are here to swim and some are here to sink. What will you represent when you’re given the chance? What will you represent when the chance was given and you missed it again? And collectively we’ll hear the earth say: You smoke like your father, you drink like your mother, you dream like the dead. Thanks for calling in. You always wake up in a new bed. That’s why your always livid like this. But if you could force a change I know you would.
MY DESTINY’S TO BE PARDONED BY EVER EXECUTIONER / FOR THE PURPOSE OF SEEING IT THROUGH / AND I HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE. Hands up, eyes on the road, I’ll see you soon.
