Jake Emlyn - Dead Things Lyrics

Have you ever wanted something so bad before
Then as soon as you got it you already wanted more?
Yeh, well that's life and we repeat the same actions
A long preparation for something that never happens
Entangled in society but look at the facts
It's simply not sustainable, it's gonna collapse
The whole system is designed just to keep you on the ride
So you can never get off, believe me I've tried
If you made it to the top you might actually realise
You've been cheated and your whole life was a lie
Cos you're still unsatisfied that's how the psychology works
To keep you coming back, you'tre never supposed to loose the urge
And now we're so detached we believe our own words
We all think were Lords of our little universe
And we'll do anything for the things that we want
Ultimately we just want to be God.

But don't you see, don't you see?
That we'll never be truly happy
And we won't be satisfied fully
But chasing round these dead things, oh
Don't you see, don't you see?
There's a life inside that runs deep
A connection between you and me
Instead of chasing round these dead things.

But were dead behind the eyes, a slave to the wage
We wish that we could share our lives but were afraid to engage
So overly complicated and over sophisticated
Simple living, higher thinking is alien to embrace
So busy focusing on all the things we could gain
We forgot what we lost on the way, we need a consciousness change
Its so strange, we escape to a cage
Any man who believes he's free is truly insane
We don't understand what suffering or happiness means
Happiness is not the gaps in between miseries
Happiness lasts forever and you'd never need a break
What we're doing is suffering and then we escape
The money separates us, were needing it less
But competition breeds success
This kamikaze societies going down, prepare for collision
And forget about your dead things, they're headed for oblivion

Don't you see, don't you see?
That we'll never be truly happy
And we won't be satisfied fully
But chasing round these dead things, oh
Don't you see, don't you see?
There's a life inside that runs deep
A connection between you and me
Instead of chasing round these dead things, oh

And it's love, it's love it's love
When are you gonna wake up?
It's love, it's love it's love
Only we can change us
And it's love, it's love it's love
Nobodies gonna save us
It's love, it's love it's love

Its funny, with all this technology we think were advanced
But all we do is sit on our ass
I light a candle, we're more entangled with every generation passed
Forgetting the true values that make us who we are
We're not meant to be independent, that's not in our nature
We're meant to be interdependent and living together
Human beings are most happy when we're serving each other
Not isolated, hiding lonely with true feelings under cover
We're in love with dead things that don't reciprocate
Forgetting the life that lies behind each amd every face
In everybody's heart, this is tearing mine apart
All that's gonna be left of us is televisions and cars
Everybodу's narcissistic, individualistic, psychopathic and ruthless
No remorse, so divorced from reality
Were destroying the planet can you see?
Or are you only happy if your company is making money?

Don't you see, don't you see?
That we'll never be truly happy
And we won't be satisfied fully
But chasing round these dead things, oh
Don't you see, don't you see?
There's a life inside that runs deep
A connection between you and me
Instead of chasing round these dead things, oh

And it's love, it's love it's love
When are you gonna wake up?
It's love, it's love it's love
Only we can change us
And it's love, it's love it's love
Nobodies gonna save us
It's love, it's love it's love
