Between Aspirations — текст песни (The GC5)

My self effacing charity and gluttonous prosperity
Don`t move mountains of misery or stone
My never-ending loyalty to hypocritical royalty
Has cut my sense of belonging to the bone
You ask me what I want to be, I become the sum of all I see
And grow old in confusion and disgrace
The recognition of my sins, the erosion of my discipline
Won`t someone come and put me in my place?
Come and see what I`ve become
Tied down to no one
And stuck between aspirations
Now I`m thankful for my sovereignty, I know it rests on poverty
And sometimes I would rather crawl than fight
I know I`ve gone nowhere fast by walking down the narrow path
And I cringe at battle I fought out of spite
There was a time, there was a place where everybody knew my face
And everything I touched would turn to gold
But now I`ve come to realize that to see through all their fucking lies
Is to refuse to be bought or sold
