I have tried to replace anger
With complacency and boredom
And the will of a wiser man
And I have tried to replace hunger
With satisfied and complete
And a constant fucking rut

I have tried to replace instinct
With pondering and intellect
And the prisons of patience
And I have tried to replace passion
With devotion and protection
And too much of not enough

Years from now when all my regret
Washes upon the very shores
That I thought long forgotten
I will know that my tragedies
Have fallen on deaf ears, closed minds
Dead souls, sewn eyes, cold hearts

When I feel this motherfucking rage
Kept undercover, I force it all down
But it’s rising inside again
And changing my mind again, I force it all out
When it’s pushing my weight again
And tempting my fate again, I force it all down
When it’s dreaming of foreign shelters
And dreaming of when it felt you
I let it all out
I drift above, below and in and out
As the sun goes down
Nothing’s ever going to change me

Daylight is bought and sold
Daylight is bought and sold
Daylight is bought and sold
Daylight is bought and sold
