Mind your business

lyrics

Such haste to make
To bare it all for anything
To open doors, to wage new wars,
To get first in line, be first to die
What waste to gain
Not knowledge, only facts in vain
What point is proved?
What wound is soothed?
The failing heart or the surface bruise?

It’s hard to say if
tomorrows more means less today
Who can stand to wait?
Is patience just a fool’s mistake

What’s left to lose?
A hubris stood in quaking shoes?
Is there no shame? Just misplaced pride?
Where’s humble gone? He’s not inside…
What modern plight,
entire selves out in plain sight
And no one hides
Because the forum’s wide
Keep your private ties from our public lives

It’s hard to say if
Tomorrows more means less today
Who can stand to wait?
Is patience just a fools mistake
We need it all
The world is ours, we’ll never fall
Who can stand to wait?
The virtue’s gone, it’s been replaced

So what’s the need to know?
To know the whole world’s story
And be in the middle now it’s just losses shown
And I know, though we hope,
I just know we’ve all gone cold and lonely
