Lyrics Purpose - Vices

Purpose

I see a system which only perpetuates the current dysfunction
Filling our heads with what suits the world
But the world is broken
This world is broken
From the moment we’re born
We’re pushed to learn
Not for the sake of knowledge
But so that we can get in line
So your life can serve their purpose
Seven billion years for us to get to this?
You’re born, you learn
You work, you die
What happened to living?
All I’m asking for is a chance to live my life
I don’t want a single thing that isn’t rightfully mine
I just need some space to breathe
Without the pressure to succeed
I’m trying to find my purpose because what they’re selling’s worthless
The only thing we’re taught is what can be bought
There’s no value in anything else
There’s no free thought
You don’t own your mind
Switch off inside
And just get in line
We are all just walking blind
Before you know it
There will be no time
Left to life
Left to love
Left for all the things that you should have done
What we have been taught benefits none
But the few who need this fucking system to keep spinning
It doesn’t serve me and it doesn’t serve you
When this fucked system keeps on spinning
This fucked system keeps on spinning
All I’m asking for is a chance to live my life
I don’t want a single thing that isn’t rightfully mine
I just need some space to breathe
Without the pressure to succeed
I’m trying to find my purpose
Because what they’re selling’s worthless
What they’re selling’s worthless
What they’re selling’s worthless
