"Oculus" lyrics
Rat race! We'll run and become alone in the
Rat race! Their dreams will become your own
In the long run we all fall behind
Because our greed will be the death of man kind
They say that past, present and future is all the same
Along a line strung with change, flowing stories, and names
Short sighted, narrow minded ants in the dirt
They told me 'straighten up and fly right' as if I was worse than the rats they test everyday straight from the lab
To run their race, be their ace, disappear without a trace
Out there in the real world lies a finish line and they're clocking times, they say "don't look back", "get on back track"
'Eyes on the prize' it's no fucking surprise
Don't look back...
The only thing is that we're now out of time but if we open our eyes then we will learn to fly
So do you fade with a heavy heart, heavy pocket or mind?
Through the looking glass forever outward
Are you there? Or are you watching?
Everything you are, is to be praised or blamed
Rat race! Their dreams will become your own
In the long run we all fall behind
Because our greed will be the death of man kind
They say that past, present and future is all the same
Along a line strung with change, flowing stories, and names
Short sighted, narrow minded ants in the dirt
They told me 'straighten up and fly right' as if I was worse than the rats they test everyday straight from the lab
To run their race, be their ace, disappear without a trace
Out there in the real world lies a finish line and they're clocking times, they say "don't look back", "get on back track"
'Eyes on the prize' it's no fucking surprise
Don't look back...
The only thing is that we're now out of time but if we open our eyes then we will learn to fly
So do you fade with a heavy heart, heavy pocket or mind?
Through the looking glass forever outward
Are you there? Or are you watching?
Everything you are, is to be praised or blamed
