Sylvan - Forgotten Virtue lyrics

Each day I leave my realm, step out of my door – I breathe in carefully Then from the black façades I watch the rain fall – and courage falls in me I try to see the sky but I just see walls – they trap me silently Some people shout at me and it's a known call: the city jeers at me And I can not, I can not stand it all … It bruises all my life and all I lived for – unfurls so ruthlessly Exists to vandalize, I hate it much more – it k**s the child in me And naturally surrounds me day in, day out, phagocytizes all They call it just progress I call it breakdown – am I the only one? And I can not, I can not stand it all … Scaffolds rising through the sky … so threatening … They sprout and spill their concrete lies If this is what you want to live through – just myopic curiosity If this is what satisfies you – then I lost the faith I had in me … Oh, you got to feel … False vows paired with false intentions – but they drown in all the other lies But if there's something I believe in, then there has to be another side It leads me away, it drags me away, it pulls me away, it drives me away Each day I leave my realm, step out of my door – I breathe in carefully Then from the black façades I watch the rain fall – and courage falls in me I try to see the sun but I just see clouds – and people pa** my way So with a known disgust I quickly turn round – it's just a normal day
