"Life Before Death" lyrics

"Life Before Death"

So simple
Our center everywhere
Nothing to perfect
Life before death

There is a switch
From take take, to altruist
Behind the self defense
Life before death

And the mix of greed and pride
With the cult of the thug in denial
They will eat their own again
Life before death

What you need I will learn to give
Without judgment, without dramatics
I will show up and I will now just commit
To humility, to forgiveness

Envy gonna bring you a malady
Fear's gonna bring you a malady
Vanity will bring you a malady
Promise gonna bring you a malady

Cut the small talk
Authentic
Walk the walk
Tick tick tick
Life before death

We are with you
Our paradise on earth in sober truth
Don't need to be fixed
Life before death

Burn down your idols
From the ashes you will become invincible
In your love for life

What you need I will learn to give
Without judgment, without dramatics
I will show up and I will now just commit
To humility, to forgiveness

What you need I will learn to give
Without judgment, without dramatics
I will show up and I will now just commit
To humility, to forgiveness

Envy gonna bring you a malady
Fear's gonna bring you a malady
Vanity will bring you a malady
Promise gonna bring you a malady
