Modern Reflective

by Lady Paradox

on Mood Swings (2016)

Chorus (Anna Stott):
Look around
How do we not see our way?
How, how do we not see our way?

Verse 1:
We're all searching for something big to believe in
A deep rooted faith that gives meaning to breathing
A beautiful face, a dream of succeeding
Some live in hate or keep on deceiving
Those we call great or would seem to believe in
Heroes die for the cheapest of reasons
How do we define what we mean by achievement?
Is it fame? Is it beating our demons?
We are seeking our freedom
Reach far, speak for a reason
Beneath stars, I sleep through the evening
Dreams are released every season
My mind's lost, I forgot what is pleasing
The TV's off, I don't know what I'm needing
Modern socks are a robot for cleaning
Call me soft but it's deeper I'm seeking

Chorus (Anna Stott):
Look around
How do we not see our way?
How, how do we not see our way?

Verse 2:
We sit back, relax, detached to the channels
Digitally tuned and sociable mammal
So far removed from wars and battles
Soothed by the news, brought from an angle
Spoon-fed as truth, course it's not sampled
The problem is youth, the laws they dismantle
Not those in suits who are forming a scandal
I feel hopeless like morning is cancelled
The system enclosed us, caught on our ankles
Holding us down, all of us scramble
Ask questions - you're more than a handful
Keep your voice inside, be thankful
Smile wide and lie like the banks do
[?] out through life as they brand you
And accept the price that they hand you
Or just find something nice you can [?] to

Chorus (Anna Stott):
Look around
How do we not see our way?
How, how do we not see our way?

Take a look at where you are
It's the modern reflective

Take a look at where you are
It's the modern reflective
