lyrics

We built our homes in the eye of the storm
I held her close as we tried to keep warm
Our allegiance lost to unending reform
For the worst, this nation is starting to transform

I built my home in the eye of the storm
I held her close as we fought to stay warm
Our allegiance lost to unending reform
For the worst, this nation has started to transform

Masters fail to live up to their professions
Countless hours spent on worthless dedications

Break off the ties that conduct your mind
Unravel the image of a perfect self

Break off the ties that conduct your mind
They've placed a hood over your clouded eyes
They've led your judgement amiss
Put an end to all you're told, find the facts out for yourself
It's time we end this

The innocence of our youth is dying
Our fists are aimlessly swinging
We keep breathing and singing
But slowly we're all sinking, slowly..

Breathing. Singing. Slowly Sinking.
