Follow Me Gracefully

from }​=​<​)​) [Feind] by Shyft

lyrics

Follow me gracefully
And listen to what I say
Because apparently the things you see
Don’t give it away

But no matter even now
You’ll probably not realize or care how
Look around and tell me
What do you see

Prosperity unity
Justice happiness no
Pain terror force corruption
Defiance betrayal

How could you not see it
When it’s right there in front of you
How could you not even feel it
When it’s inside of you

Its right there
All around you
It’s all here…
The greed surrounds you

They feed your greed what you see
Just makes you want more
And the worse it gets
The harder it is to realize
They feed your greed what you see
Just makes you want more
And it just grows worse and worse
IT NEVER STOPS GROWING WORSE

Come follow me hastily
Into a dark place called
Earth our world our homeland
It’s in ruins

But oh you say it looks just fine
What could be wrong
I clench my teeth and sigh and say
Everything is wrong

But the buildings stand tall
People prosper, they never cease to
gain; I sigh again and say yes
There’s no end to their reign

You look at me puzzled then
With no words in your mouth
And I then say as they prosper
Everything else dies

And they we the humans
We’re really dying inside
But the ego mind clouds the death
But that’s no excuse it’s you

Don’t you see how simply we've
Done this without knowing
Or why all should be changed
Why hate should convert to love

It’s all here
All the chances to
Realize our faults
But you give it no second glances

And oh what will you do
When your machines turn on you
But all of your creations
Already have

Its right there
All around you
It’s all here…
The greed surrounds you

They feed your greed what you see
Just makes you want more
And the worse it gets
The harder it is to realize
They feed your greed what you see
Just makes you want more
And it just grows worse and worse
IT NEVER STOPS GROWING WORSE

AND OF COURSE YOU STAND THERE
OBLIVIOUS TO WHAT I SAY
AND MOST DEFINITELY
TO THE TERROR YOU SEE

WHY DID I
EVEN BOTHER
WHY DO I CARE…
To try to make you realize truth

You leave me simply
Because you do not understand
Telling me I think too much
That I should care less instead

So I’m alone as always
I guess I shouldn’t feel sad
If I’m so used to it
But the loneliness grows every time I lose a chance

So I lead myself now all alone
Into the cities I defy
In search of another
Someone to send my message to

In between the buildings
In among the machines
That are filled with emptiness
Erected with greed

And maybe someday…

Maybe someday I’ll find someone
Who I can share this message with
But then with just one other what will I do
WHAT CAN WE DO

To bring this earth back to life

Shyft Denver, Colorado

This is Shyft’s gabber/hardcore/breakcore/drill’n’bass project. Distorted heavy bass kicks, thick synths, and powerful melodies are the aim here- unless it’s chopped up progressive percussion. Influences come from many places, and not just the gabber or brain dance scene. It ranges from techno, trance and house genre classes to organic genre classes such as folk and metal. ... more
