Degeneration Lyrics - Singles - Crashdog

The future ain't so pretty 

When you're looking through 

The rearview mirror. 

'Cause history seems to repeat itself, 

And our sins start to reappear. 

We wake up every morning 

And things still seem the same, 

Resolutions made, the bills are paid, 

But the problems still remain. 

In the never-ending revelation 

Of exactly who we are, 

Angels of mud, 

Talking of love 

While carving out another scar. 

I can't choose your destination, 

I can't stop degeneration, 

But I can ease the dying, 

Hold the crying, 

Kill the pain. 

Unless your heart is frozen, 

You're bound to fell some pain. 

You decide to survive 

Or be crushed by self-pity, 

As you lick your wounds, 

Don't nurse your bitterness. 

You'll neglect everything you love 

And be filled with bitterness. 

The blind can't lead the blind, 

The dead can't raise the dead, 

But the crippled can be healed, 

And the hungry can be fed. 

The ongoing dilemma 

Of how to live with one another 

Has kept us occupied 

Since Cain killed his brother. 

As the years go by, 

We've left some things behind, 

But the prejudices between ourselves, 

Are only more defined. 

Psychologists go on arguing, 

Sociologists will debate, 

But the love that's greater 

Than our spite 

Is the kind we can't create.
