Between Aspirations Lyrics - Singles - The Gc5

My self effacing charity and gluttonous prosperity 

Don't move mountains of misery or stone 

My never-ending loyalty to hypocritical royalty 

Has cut my sense of belonging to the bone 

You ask me what I want to be, I become the sum of all I see 

And grow old in confusion and disgrace 

The recognition of my sins, the erosion of my discipline 

Won't someone come and put me in my place? 

Come and see what I've become 

Tied down to no one 

And stuck between aspirations 

Now I'm thankful for my sovereignty, I know it rests on poverty 

And sometimes I would rather crawl than fight 

I know I've gone nowhere fast by walking down the narrow path 

And I cringe at battle I fought out of spite 

There was a time, there was a place where everybody knew my face 

And everything I touched would turn to gold 

But now I've come to realize that to see through all their fucking lies 

Is to refuse to be bought or sold
