Eating Bullets Of Acceptance Lyrics - Hearts Once Nourished With Hope And Compassion - Shai Hulud

Our outlook is bleak but the moment is grand 

To be told we're independent is not enough. 

We should strive for autonomous thoughts 

And your pride in you conformity is sickening 

This useless praise 

But this desire for focus triggers abuse 

Of an endless sense of insecurity. 

We grasp at endless questions for a sense of hope 

It's not so simple to sit and wait 

We cannot embrace our roles blindly 

They're assigned 

They are assigned, based on the fact that we will accept 

Minds are in suspended animation 

Due to an attachment to this established lifestyle 

My existence will not be dictated like a reading from a book 

I will not be predetermined. 

Our outlook is bleak. 

When approval is all we crave and the moment is grand. 

Your pride is sickening. 

In your conformity. 

But this moment is grand. 

We should strive for autonomous thoughts. 

Approval is all we crave!
