Dr Syntax – Sacred Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse 1
- We'd all like some praise
- But by the same token
- We'd all like to stay in line;
- Idle, fake notions
- Obliged to, aspired to
- And while we stay hoping
- Our time's due
- Must be a fine day approaching
- Waiting for a minor sign or vague omen
- A bright ray of light
- Or a shiny gate opening
- No one keeps an eye on the prize;
- Fate frozen
- There's no peace-of-mind trying to wait while the game's loading;
- Seize the controller
- Apply your mind to the grind like breaking up meat with your molars
- Sometimes I feel many people are soulless
- Beauty isn't in the eye, it's in beliefs of the holders
- Engraved on their being
- So in a sense when they only crave greater status they’re a slave to what they’re seeing
- God fearers are afraid to stop believing
- Similarly others stay blinking
- So they can block their demons
- It’s all the same;
- Just a different way of stopping reason
- From prevailing;
- People stop and change with the seasons
- And squander meaning
- Talking of God and heathens
- We’re all the same faceless flock on our way to obsoletion now
Hook x2
- Does someone have to explain it?
- What’s bad and what is sacred?
- ‘Cuz life’s what you make it
- And once it’s done you can’t change it
Verse 2
- They’re howling in their lairs
- They’re barking at the moon
- There’s people out there
- With no marbles left to lose
- Men and women seldom in a calm and pleasant mood
- With pressure bringing tension no balm can ever soothe
- Cracking under strain
- Ravished with a pain
- ’til they’re acting pretty strange;
- Making animals look tame
- Incapable of hate, love embarrassment or shame
- Strangers in a cave struggle out their living days
- The city bustles
- It's a shimmering huddle of twitching muscle
- Little wonder some become a bit befuddled
- People live in bubbles
- Keeping their opinions muzzled
- Restricted vision with a filtered funnel
- Facts remain obscure;
- Lines are blurred
- Every notion of emotion is enclosed in signs and words
- With no alternative you might prefer
- You better go set your mind at work
- Or prepare to spend some nights on curbs
- Fluorescent coats
- Ties and shirts
- Whatever the dress code
- The prize, or the dirt
- We’re fighting of thirst before our final merge
- Under piles of earth with no feeling left in our final nerve
Hook x2
- Does someone have to explain it?
- What’s bad and what is sacred?
- ‘Cuz life’s what you make it
- And once it’s done you can’t change it
