Tragic Cul-de-Sac (feat. Jared Zolik)

Cascading through time Moving toward what we hope to be Illusions of life lived in a dream A project of make believe We carry a corpse And time will reveal the extent of our decay We hide from the truth Pretend we're alive While stuck in our deadly ways We search for a way to fill our yearning eyes Not a reason to live, but a reason not to die Entrenched in a dream, there's no way to make us act Our lives have become another tragic cul-de-sac We always let go we always give in We search for a good disguise We change with the times We get what we want Which is no surprise What do we care it's time to survive No time to be resolute Just stay with the herd And follow its lead like a good recruit We search for a way to fill our yearning eyes Not a reason to live, but a reason not to die Entrenched in a dream, there's no way to make us act Our lives have become another tragic cul-de-sac Like a mouse in a maze Looking for cheese A life of futility Menageries cage Just hope to survive a meaningless destiny Each turn that we take Only will lead to more aimlessness Nothing will change Until we can learn That we must confess We search for a way to fill our yearning eyes Not a reason to live, but a reason not to die Entrenched in a dream, there's no way to make us act Our lives have become another tragic cul-de-sac
