Lyrics
Didn’t always use to be like this
It Didn't always use to be like this
Don’t know what happens in the years to come
Everyone here is living numb
She’s a beautiful soul
I’ve got nothing at all
Everything around me lately feels artificial
And I fear it’s by design
I fear it’s all by design
To blind your eyes
To keep you in line
But me I'm done with the synthetic life
Didn't always use to be like this
I remember being in my grandmas yard
Learning of Jesus Christ
And the promise of eternal life
She’s a beautiful soul
I’ve got nothing at all
Everything around me lately seems artificial
And I think it’s by design
I fear it’s all by design
To blind your eyes and keep you in line
But I am done with synthetic life
Me I am done with the synthetic life
Did it always use to be like this?
It didn’t always use to be like this
