lyrics

Down in the streets a plot's been set aside
This hole we occupy ain't fit for a dream
Seemed better scrapin' by in the land of cream and honies, right
On your own left to survive in a cold den of thieves
Seems I recall a land stretching to the sky
From mountain peaks the sun would rise to enlighten the plain
Seems I recall a land offered enough for all
And it took our greed to feed the fall of a child untamed

Take what you need and run
Chase the life that once was found following the setting sun

Stifled the screaming as they held us back, blacked our eyes
They took control, left her defiled and drained
Slid us the steel and as we slowly slide the knife inside
They whisper, "Ain't this what you want, ain't you entertained?"
Time after time we rush to greet the unknown blind
Resting assured the other side will be all we could dream
When, time after time, we find all that's been left behind
Was never worth the sacrifice, we had all we could need

Take what you need and run
Chase the life that once was found following the setting sun

All of life, this is fleeting
Oh how I wish it'd stay
But my time's always bleeding
And pulling away from me

Am I lost for dreaming 'bout a turning page, a rising tide
It's all too far gone to think it ever could change
When ignorance comes easy, standing guard over prosthetic minds
While my thoughts may differ, all around me remains
Who'll draw the line? We stand opposed on every side
No morals override a stake to be claimed
This peaceful shrine will fall before it's realized
And our so-called progression lies at the root of the blame

Take what you need and run
Before the life that once was found's gone with the setting sun

All of life, this is fleeting
Oh how I wish it'd stay
But my time's always bleeding
And pulling away from me
