Wait In Vain - Puritan lyrics

Imprisoned by desires, shackled to possessions What can't be lived without will leave us without We aspire to the standards set by the elite Temporary happiness for our permanent toil Poisoning and burning the fire that has been set and there's no way out Progress, erect, despoil Build a better tomorrow and destroy today Indulge, devour, waste We'll take and take until there's nothing left Tomorrow abandoned for the needs of today As luxuries that promise freedom choke our lives and become our oppressors We get caught in a cycle where having more is valued over being more Tell ourselves we are nothing when we have nothing Take all that we can, knock down all in our way and continue to Progress, erect, despoil Build a better tomorrow and destroy today Indulge, devour, waste We'll take and take until there's nothing left Tomorrow abandoned for the needs of today Man will conquer new lands and take all that he can Harvesting indigenous lands to give into today demands that he feels are his birthrights Survival of the fittest Will serve as an anchor that will drag us to the bottom Signs of a world collapse ignored We continue to consume Until we are consumed
