Lyrics
I waited years just to get this far
Overcame fears to get where you got
But at what cost to those around me?
The things I've lost - sometimes they ground me

I'm trying hard to find
Some basic peace of mind
The words that I have read
Divide what's in my head
We're running out of room
Now let's see you consume
Although we never should
It's for the greater good

I try so hard to be much more than
The sum of my parts, but that's all I am
So take or leave me as I come shipped
But just believe me - at least I've lived

I'm trying to find out
What this is all about
The words that I have heard
They all seem so absurd
We're running out of time
In which to live our lives
And yet we do our best
To pass this bitter test

I don't know who I am
Some remix of a man
A shadow of myself
And no one here to help
They're all just wanting more
I'm guilty as them all
The blind hypocrisy
To hide conspiracy

The things our fathers craved
Just cannot be obtained
A wife and family
Embrace diversity
Well, after seven years
You'd think it would be clear
I don't know what to do
Is it me or her or you?


I'm trying hard to find
Some basic peace of mind
The only things I know
Are just the things I'm told
The things they taught us then
Will be ignored again
Just leave it 'til the day
We've nowhere left to stay

I've tried to let it lie
Some form of compromise
But I await the day
It'll happen anyway
They're all just wanting more
I'm guilty as them all
Although we never should
It's for the greater good

It's for the greater good
It's for the greater good
It's for the greater good
It's for the greater good
