Metamorphosis Lyrics by Shelter

Mantra

0

[Verse]
Born selfish, blind, and ignorant
And my schooling gave me knowledge
But never any wisdom
And in addition: the television
Programmed my brain
Through it's constant repetition
Misdirected, infected
With mundane roles and goals and heroes
And although life really has purpose
I wasted my youth in a social circus
Told what is best for me
But I've seen their destiny
Our leaders ignominy
Reconfirms my concern
To rearrange and change my life
I'll vow
I'll vow right here and now
No more time wasting
Just edification, purification
We can direct our future
[Chorus]
This life
This life has no meaning
Unless we grow
I know
There's no use for all this screaming
Unless we grow
[Verse]
Born foolish, dull, and self absorbed
But I dedicate my life to my reformation
And education in a nation
That thinks great pleasure is a Disney vacation
I never fit in to their system
I couldn't understand
People wasting their time
With so called love and drugs and occupations
While outside the window is a crumbling nation
So I searched for sincerity
And lost popularity
Well what do they want from me?
If I lost friends they never were my friends at all!
To find the real me
Through introspection and austerity
Is my life's mission
My ambition
I've got a vision to change my destiny
[Chorus]
This life
This life has no meaning
Unless we grow
I know
There's no use for all this screaming
Unless we grow
Things don't change - we must change
