It is safe to say

I have lost my pride

I've drawn all my cards

I've lost all my hands

Youth is just a disease only cured with time

And is not fair that, when we know enough

Our life comes to a halt

Love is an invention to keep us from asking further questions

Passion's a distraction that diverts us from our firm oppression

It'll be pretentious to live a life without expectations

But I tried using all the twelve notes modulated to every tone

I swear I've mixed all the colors

But all I've got was a big white

Light everything you see

Bring out all the machines

Let's show them what we mean

Ignorance, they say

That time will set things straight

The debris that we'll leave

Won't reflect their dreams

Youth is just a disease only cured with time

And is not fair that, when we know enough

Our life comes to a halt

Love is an invention to keep us from asking further questions

Passion's a distraction that diverts us from our firm oppression

It'll be pretentious to live a life without expectations

But I tried using all the twelve notes modulated to every tone

I swear I've mixed all the colors

But all I've got was a big white

Light everything you see

Bring out all the machines

(Let's show them what we mean)

(Let's show them what we mean)

(Yes, of course, I know)

(I know I haven't been around that much)

(But you have to trust me on this one)

Love is an invention to keep us from asking further questions

Passion's a distraction that diverts us from our firm oppression

It'll be pretentious to live a life without expectations

But I tried using all the twelve notes modulated to every tone

I swear I've mixed all the colors

But all I've got was a big white light

Our civilization's built upon

A big white lie

It is safe to say

I have lost my pride

I've drawn all my cards

I've lost all my hands
