Altruism [Alt Master] Lyrics by ​iodbc - The Black Box

Let Go EP

2018

The thought that mediates my soul
The dreams which make my psyche whole
I wish that life will never break
Missing you's more than I can take
The strong won't always eat the weak
The tyrant won't take on the meek
My penance tested from the start
Shatter the wind and break my heart
What will the future hold for me?
Pack up your things, embark and see
The long and winding road ahead
The trees look on and want me dead
But still the journey just won't end
My flesh devoured, I won't rend
Let this be what life always willed:
Know Altruism gets you killed
The secrets lie beyond the tree
The meadow takes and sets you free
Lost to the rhythm and the beat
Yet darkness, you will not defeat
Your essence lost among the way
And yet your pride will not deprave
You still consider foes your friend
Despite the lives they steal and spend
The purity of nature call
The flora and the grass withal
Continue living on in peace
Consistent and will never cease
The river cuts off ending you
You want to see this trial through
Let this be what life always willed:
Know Altruism gets you killed
Although you cry and weep and bawl
You stay adorned and loved by all
Be strong and stand up to the test
You will surpass all of the rest
The skies grow gloomy, dark, and grim
The fate of all is on the rim
I want to hold your hand and say
That everything will be okay
But I desire only truth
I'm not the same as those uncouth
The end to this tale's up to us
Give to me all your faith and trust
I'll help you breathe and overcome
The world is us and we are one
I'll break what life would always will:
"Know Altruism gets you killed"
Yeah
No Altruism gets you killed
No Altruism gets you killed
