Songtext Alive Velcra

Alive

Tell me who you are, have you thought about it?
Yeah, of course you have now its time to deal with it
Spoilt sheltered overfed kid
You believe you're free standing on your own two feet
But you're chained to your possessions
Too content to change and take part in the action
Instant gratification for the cynical child of the welfare nationAll all that you should dare is so far away and to get there you have to
Break the day, to change your ways to throw away all you are today

Don't want to help you out
Cause every morning kills me
As long as I wake up with you by my side
As long as we're alike
No matter what the distance
My sun won't rise

You're a cartoon cut-out of the things that you mock
Incapable of thinking out of the box
Never opening your mouth unless so requested
Straight A student with no skills to protest
Blinded by pride thinking you're so smart
Your thoughts and deeds lightyears apart
I thought you were the leader, feeder of minds
Boldly marching on to the new frontiers
But you're nothing but a beaurecrat
With a sense of power
Slave to the rules and the office hours
Labourer without the vision
Namedropper in the hopes of gaining recognition

Don't want to help you out
Cause every morning kills me
As long as I wake up with you by my side
As long as we're alike
No matter what the distance
My sun won't rise

I can smell deep dark trouble
