[Verse 1: Tim Lambesis]

We are all comatose

We are overfed and under

Undernourished

Yearning for something more

Never starving

Yet never quite satisfied

Carnal but without

Useful flesh or mind

[Refrain: Tim Lambesis]

I am a walking contradiction

That's found consistency

Consuming everything

All without producing sustenance

[Verse 2: Tim Lambesis]

In the parallels, we struggle

Struggle to upkeep

There is a better way

For us to be set free

From all it is we crave

There must be more to life

Than to simply stay alive

To simply stay alive

[Chorus: Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis, both]

We are not the same

As I hope to show

There is a better way

If we just let go

We are not

We are not the same

We are not

We are not the same

Let go

[Verse 3: Tim Lambesis]

In the tension between

Devouring want or simple need

It's clear the only lines

Between the ones we preserve

[Chorus: Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis, both]

We are not the same

As I hope to show

There is a better way

If we just let go

We are not

We are not the same

We are not

We are not the same

Let go

[Refrain: Tim Lambesis]

We are not the same

[Bridge: Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis, both]

And in the parallels

We struggle to upkeep

There's a better way for us to be

For us to be set free

And in the parallels (Parallels)

We struggle to upkeep (Struggle to upkeep)

There's a better way for us to be

For us to be set free

[Guitar Solo]

Yeah!

[Chorus: Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis, both]

We are not the same

As I hope to show

There is a better way

If we just let go

We are not

We are not the same

We are not

We are not the same

Let go

[Outro: Tim Lambesis, Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis]

We are not the same
