Jason Manker Nature S Slave Lyrics

It's been a long time now
That we've had to grow
And if you ask what happened
I'd say I just don't know
Because every thing you've promised
Is every story I've told
And if we hold these problems
We won't let go
So is it me?
Or is it you?
Is it something we can't break through
Is there one more step to this dance?
Are we born to die in romance?
Is there something we must take to
To take away what we made it through?
Did we miss a step to this dance?
Are we born to die in romance?

I know that we've seen better days
I know that we've seen better days
I know that we've seen better days
I know that we've seen better days

I know that we've seen better days
Before we looked for better ways
Dirty hands and wooden sticks
A lifeless man a crucifix
A final breath a bag of tricks
And with one death our problems fixed
A lie is born
The truth gets torn
A line is drawn
Division forms
You do your part for a bright tomorrow
My part is a pill that's hard to swallow
Because love got flipped
It's upside down
I'm here to turn it back around
You feel you're warm out in the cold
I just want you to come back home

So is it me?
Or is it you?
Is it something we must go through?
Is there love found in a glance?
Or must we build it to have a chance?
Is there nothing left to gain?
Or can we free ourselves from pain?
The only magic I've ever known
Is the magic that comes slow

We need a spiritual lesson
I'm looking at myself
I know this life is a blessing
The message gets mixed up to me
Then I get dissolved in what I'm meant to be
Knowing that I live to be
Knowing that I live to see
But life will get the best of me
I'm testing every day
Until the reaper gets the breath of me
The blood and all the flesh of me
Is all that I am guaranteed
And even that I've got to leave
I'm an animal
Living life and nothing more
So it you or is it me?
Is this all that we can be
Must I stay tied down in chains
Simply for what I believe?
All because I'm living free
And I agree to disagree
Then you agree to disagree
So never will we just agree
But still I'll leave you on your way
You're the one that pays to play
I'm the one that paves the way
I put my shit on display
You take your shit to the grave
With all forgave you still decay
The life you tried so hard to save
Once again is nature's slave
