If Symptoms Persist

We buy the story
The cautionary tales
Try to ignore it
But the feelings prevail
Always fighting the symptom
But never the cause
The death and the glory
But still you want more
Tell us what we're fighting for?

And your watching us fall
Watching us lose control
And we're building a wall
Until we feel nothing at all
Though we resist
The symptoms persist

You give us your reasons
But never explain
You feed us your lies
To keep us sane
And leave us cold in the flames

And we're falling down
But we're not gonna hit the ground
You may have our minds
But you'll never take our souls
No we won't resist
When the symptoms persist

We all live for tomorrow
But what If we lived for today
And they talk to us of a tomorrow
To distract us from the truths of today

And we're not gonna fall
We're not gonna lose control
We may of lost our minds but we'll never lose our souls
And your gonna fall
And your gonna lose control
We don't care about our minds
Coz we only need our souls
Coz we won't resist
When the symptoms they persist
