Hedonistic

Crawling, scratching, chasing
 A hedonistic vicious lie
 Burning, yearning, seeking
 Purpose to numb the pain of life
 Cultivate a life of wanting acclimate to senseless pride
 Want to believe in something; dreams, left behind
 Slowly wilting, fading
 Now choose to live before you die
 We're drawn to light in the darkness
 Just like insects to flickering flames
 Optimistic dogma; a need to feel complete
 Contentment never obtained
 We live our lives in the darkness
 We strive for joy that seems so far away
 A spiritual sickness infecting vacant minds
 Now drives us insane
 ♪
 Stare blind into the flames of regret
 Gaze deep into the embers
 Achieve the goals you have set
 Then you wonder, "what's next to come?"
 A new form of worship contrived
 To assume control over all of our lives
 Ravenous vultures that feed on our hearts
 Enslavement conditioned into matters of our wants
 ♪
 Look at me and what I've become
 Imprisoned by the promise of hope
 A new form of worship contrived
 To assume control over all of our lives
 Ravenous vultures that feed on our hearts
 Enslavement conditioned into matters of our wants
 Crawling, scratching, chasing
 A hedonistic vicious lie
 Burning, yearning, seeking
 Purpose to numb the pain of...
 Slowly wilting, fading
 Will you live before you die?
 Toiling, failing, repeating
 Mistakes you've made a thousand times
 Always wanting, always needing
 You were robbed of more than life itself
