"We don’t wish to get so rich off honest people’s sins
we’ve been here for 10,000 years not doing but witnessing..." -From CULTURE OF SELF (2007)

The Low Road
i don’t mean to profit off of other people’s pain
i’ve been here for so many years
attempting to forget her name
i don’t mean to benefit from others’ misery
i’ve been here for 10,000 years
attempting to regain my strength
oh, it’s hard to be so cold
we don’t like to ride the high of other people’s pride
we’ve been here for too many years
pretending to have our own lives
we don’t wish to get so rich off honest people’s sins
we’ve been here for 10,000 years
not doing but witnessing
oh, it’s hard to grow old
even though we chose the low road
won’t be long before we don’t belong, is it wrong
just to stay here? just to be here? just to breathe here?
oh, we don’t care if we’re right or if we are wrong
even though we can’t deny it, somehow we will justify it
it’s the way we chose to go through life, we don’t care
if we stay here, if we leave here, if we stay here
oh, we don’t care if we win or if we sin
if we win, if we sin, no…
one day we’ll have our own holy place
