The Lost Art of Living

Let the last living soul be enlightened
And as he walks with his god through the dead
Watch as he begs for their lives
In exchange for the thoughts in his head

I confused all my power for wisdom
It seems not all the great minds think alike
And all of my riches were stolen
So I had to face what’s inside

So pour me a double, fetch me the bottle
Until all my troubles are gone
Because I’ve hit the bottom
But the bottom won’t hold me for long

And they all hold me down and watch as I drown
I’m their light bearing angel hurled down
To the ground

Is it better to be loved than feared
To keep your enemies near and your god
Away from here

And now that I’ve caught your attention
I assume that you’ll all listen well
Then return to your homes and your lives
and slowly slip back under the spell

For in trying to kill off your demons
You killed off your angels instead
Now you feel like your trapped in the moment
You feel like your not in your head

So pour me a double now fetch me the bottle
Who gives a fuck anymore
Because I’ve hit the bottom
But the bottom won’t hold me for long

So let’s all be saved
