Parallels

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Tim Lambesis] We are all comatose We are overfed and under Undernourished Yearning for something more Never starving Yet never quite satisfied Carnal but without Useful flesh or mind [Refrain: Tim Lambesis] I am a walking contradiction That's found consistency Consuming everything All without producing sustenance [Verse 2: Tim Lambesis] In the parallels, we struggle Struggle to upkeep There is a better way For us to be set free From all it is we crave There must be more to life Than to simply stay alive To simply stay alive [Chorus: Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis, both] We are not the same As I hope to show There is a better way If we just let go We are not We are not the same We are not We are not the same Let go [Verse 3: Tim Lambesis] In the tension between Devouring want or simple need It's clear the only lines Between the ones we preserve [Chorus: Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis, both] We are not the same As I hope to show There is a better way If we just let go We are not We are not the same We are not We are not the same Let go [Refrain: Tim Lambesis] We are not the same [Bridge: Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis, both] And in the parallels We struggle to upkeep There's a better way for us to be For us to be set free And in the parallels (Parallels) We struggle to upkeep (Struggle to upkeep) There's a better way for us to be For us to be set free [Guitar Solo] Yeah! [Chorus: Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis, both] We are not the same As I hope to show There is a better way If we just let go We are not We are not the same We are not We are not the same Let go [Outro: Tim Lambesis, Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis] We are not the same
