Acquiescence Lyrics

Album: Elusion

id you want to open the box?

And there’s the answer.

To know why.

Freedom we find.

Tampering with the order of things

holding true the paradox

Your cognitive dissonance overtakes

your ability to act rationally

And you’re sure it’s out there

It’ll free us all.

You’ll chain death until he breaks free

and toil for the rest of eternity.

Causal reasoning and consequences

have you questioning your place on earth.

To put forth all you have in this life.

Deny your own mortality.

Take it by the reigns

and know you never had to look.

Each time the sun comes up,

accept this world you can never understand.

Feeling a sense of purpose,

to stake your claim in the earth

Daunting, the task it is.

And you want to feel something more

and break the chains

that have been placed around you.

So you can look them in the eyes.

And say, “This is all mine.”

Feeling a sense of purpose

to stake your claim in the earth.

Daunting, the task.

And you want to feel something more

and break the chains.

That have been placed around you.

So you can look them in the eyes.

and say, “This all mine.”

My own life.

but when you look down at your feet

and then look up to your hand that’s holding the key.

You put you there.

Exactly where you are right now.

How did it come to this?

When you look down,

at your feet

and then up to your hand,

that’s holding key.

You, put you there.

Exactly where you are now.

How did it come to this?

It’s true. You want freedom.

but the extent to which you can let yourself go

is only as far as you’ll let yourself see.
