Patrick Park - Life Is A Song

You say life is a dream
Where we can't say what we mean
Maybe just some roadside scene that we're driving past
Where there's no telling where we'll be in a day or in a week
And there's no promises of peace or of happiness
Well is this why you cling
To every little thing
And pulverize and derange all your senses
Maybe life is a song
But you're scared to sing along
Until the very ending

It's time to let go of everything we used to know
Ideas of strength and who we've been
It's time to cut ties that won't ever free our minds
From the chains and shackles that they're in

Tell me what good is saying that you're free
In a dark and storming sea
Where chained to your history you're surely sinking fast
Well you say that you know that the good Lord's in control
He's gonna bless and keep your tired and oh so restless soul
But at the end of the day
When every price has been paid
If you're gonna rise and sit beside him on some old seat of gold
Well then won't you tell me why
You live like you're afraid to die
And you'll die like you're afraid to go

It's time to let go of everything we used to know
Ideas of strength and who we've been
It's time to cut ties that won't ever free our minds
From the chains and shackles that they're in
From the chains and shackles that they're in

Well life is a dream
Because we're all walking in our sleep
You can see us stand in lines like we're dead upon our feet
And we build our house of cards
And then we wait for it to fall
We always forget how strange it is just to be alive at all
