Lyrics
As I take a look around
Reflecting on the surroundings
I can see so much beauty
Noticing the beauty in the environment
Surrounding me
Aware of the surroundings
Piercing through me
Feeling deeply affected by the surroundings
And I just can't bear it
Expressing difficulty in tolerating the beauty
This designed exclusiveness
Noticing a deliberate exclusivity in design
The world has so much to offer
Observing the vast opportunities in the world
And you're only willing to share so little
Criticizing limited sharing of resources
Of what belongs to all of us
Asserting collective ownership
We don't want the same
Highlighting differences in desires
Why do you pretend
Questioning insincerity
That clenching a fist
Challenging the notion of aggression as openness
Equates an open hand?
Rejecting the equivalence of a closed fist to an open hand
Do you think we'll wait until
Raising the question of delayed expression
We're allowed to speak?
Expressing a desire for immediate voice
I guess your greatest weakness is
Pointing out a misunderstanding of strength
Mistaking us for weak
Asserting strength against misconceptions
I'm watching another sunrise
Observing a new day
Taking a breath
Taking a moment to breathe
But I can't sigh with relief
Feeling unable to relax due to awareness
Since I know
Acknowledging intentional obstruction
You're trying everything in your power
Noting efforts to monetize the experience
To have us pay for this view
Accusing others of trying to make them pay for the view
And please spare me your prose
Rejecting insincere communication
It's dishonest and it's wasted
Dismissing dishonest and wasteful words
I'm not listening anymore
Refusing to listen further
Since I truly believe
Believing in finding honesty and kindness elsewhere
I'll find more honesty and kindness
Expressing a lack of trust in current surroundings
At the bottom of every ashtray in this town
Suggesting a search for authenticity in unconventional places
We don't want the same
Reiterating differences in desires
Why do you pretend
Questioning insincerity again
That clenching a fist
Repeating the rejection of fist equivalence to openness
Equates an open hand?
Reiterating the desire for immediate voice
Do you think we'll wait until
Revisiting the misconception of strength
We're allowed to speak?
Reiterating the frustration of delayed expression
I guess your greatest weakness is
Reaffirming strength against misconceptions
Mistaking us for weak
Emphasizing resilience against being perceived as weak
We don't want the same
Repeating differences in desires
Why do you pretend
Questioning insincerity once more
That reaching for cash
Challenging the notion of financial gestures as helpful
Equates a helping hand?
Rejecting the equivalence of reaching for cash to a helping hand
Do you think we'll wait until
Reiterating the desire for immediate voice
We're allowed to speak?
Revisiting the misconception of strength in expression
I guess your greatest weakness is
Emphasizing resilience against being perceived as weak
Mistaking us for weak
Final emphasis on strength against misconceptions
