The Embers – Proud, Aspiring, Dead, Or Dying lyrics

Album: The Author Bleeds

It scares me, the script they say we are to live our lives by...
These pages develop like the horror story we've become
Their pupils are shape-shifting into dollar signs as they set out
To rewrite a dialogue that fits this present world of ours

We're buying time like free enterprise is going out of style.

Our fathers have formulated life down to its barren core
Perfecting this science until we will cease to exist
Well, let me say, I'm guided by far greater forces than your
Debauchery, and I'll spend every breath I have to fight you off

We're buying time like free enterprise is going out of style.

This is who you are....is this who you are?
Find yourself, now. Live like it's your last day.
