"Born To Die" lyrics

"Born To Die"

This culture wanna limit us
And capitalise our output
Limit our potential
I know what this life is worth
We are universal spirits
And our kingdom is this earth
All those years of holding back
It's only you you do not serve
Mindful of our differences
Respect wants holding down
Most already know this
But they're afraid to make a sound

So herein lies the problem with the many and not the few
Always passing out the blame instead of honesty and truth
This life is temporary, why you holding onto youth?
Possessions weigh you down, you can't let go of what is new
Communication inspires hope, humility controls your pride
There's no need to wear disguises
Our species overcomes through perseverance in the mind
Our dreams are a reminder this realm ain't the only kind
This realm ain't what you define, no answers, running blind
Like a dog caught in the headlights of a truck that's passing by
Care less about what survives, only got ourselves in mind
Ain't it terribly ironic how we're all just born to die?

Are we all just born to die?
Are we all just born to die?
Are we all just born to die?

Born to die
Born to die
Born to die
Born to die

How to discipline the self?
They say that moderation is the key
Fulfillment looking weaker
When objectified, indeed
So keep an open mind
That is attached to nothing free
Weary of the thoughts you plant
How they grow just like a seed
Generational growth
Is a thing we must command
Encapture what's before us
And dilate it with our hands
Our feelings are just visitors
Competing for attention
Avoiding every trigger
While still reaching for ascension
