The Parallax - Criticize Without Constructing lyrics

Let's meet at both ends beyond the facade Past the promoting of pa**ionless tension Where both ends won't meet beyond competing Let's meet where statements are solid Past the pressure, and stop dragging drab ideas And stop promoting mediums without messages This over exposure bleaches color I am not there, will you ever be? This over exposure bleaches color I am not there, will you ever be? Let's meet where tension and tradition don't eclipse struggle Past the critical without constructing Unity means nothing if it's only self-serving Am I to blame? We're going nowhere We're doing nothing past repeating echoes and living in each other's shadows A gesture of revolt, defeating our intent We could get beyond competing at both ends We are all we have in this This is all there is We could rise above the statements and reinvent a new defiance Discouragement hasn't taken over yet I want a future past the mold of culture and the dictating of others Past fixation on gestures of defiance, designing new ways And meet where both ends won't Past the mold of the future, and the dictating of others Past fixation on gestures of defiance, designing new ways No more facades and gestures of revolt Defeating our own intent I want to see you face to face We are all we have This is all there is We could rise above the statements and reinvent a new defiance Discouragement hasn't taken over yet I want to see you face to face Strip this to its essense, and find hope in resistance I still have hope in you Do you still have hope in me? I need you to get through these days And rise above the statements And help reinvent a new defiance Let's meet at both ends Past the gesturing, past the facade I'm asking for a future past the critical without constructing Let's meet where both ends won't And stop dragging drab ideas And stop promoting mediums without messages
