System Syn - Ordinary Life Lyrics

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
