Truth Among Ashes - Head Up in the Cloud

We set goals that we intend to complete
Coordinating, planning futures ahead
We create distractions for ourselves
To escape the reality of failure
Full access
Endless information but nothing I can do with it
Blinding screens
I cannot avert my eyes
From this spectacle
Souls drifting away from this Earth
Eyes affixed to your precious device
Souls fighting for the spotlight
Gone, you've poisoned your mind
Lying, crying
Killing, dying for you
Can you see my dedication show through
Push away all that I need to succeed
Losing focus, still I need to please you
I need you again
So little time has passed
Yet like a drug I crave you
It's an addiction
Can you see me on the ground
With your head up in the clouds
So very far from where you wanted to be
A life that starts with just a step
One you haven't taken yet
Look what waits for you below
Potential failure, deep it lurks
A storm you couldn't weather if you tried
Pull yourself up on your feet, and learn to walk with me
It doesn't have a pulse, it cannot it breathe
It hardly can think, it is not your friend
It is by design a tool that's made to
Monitor your mind so they can sell you
Souls drifting away from this Earth
Eyes affixed to your precious device
Souls fighting for the spotlight
Gone, you've poisoned your mind
Lying, crying
Killing, dying for you
Can you see my dedication show through
Push away all that I need to succeed
Losing focus, still I need to please you
I need you again
Yet so much time has passed
I'm itching for more
It's worse than it was once
Can you see me on the ground
With your head up in the clouds
So very far from where you wanted to be
A life that starts with just a step
One you haven't taken yet
Look what waits for you below
Potential failure, deep it lurks
A storm you couldn't weather if you tried
Pull yourself up on your feet
And learn to walk towards your dreams, and fly away
Away from your past
Bodies drifting aimlessly they're lost among the sea
Dead men sing their songs to us, forgotten melodies
Float away, forget the past, you'll make new memories
Far from all your goals, but still there's none you can't achieve
Souls gone, lost to time
Memories will live on
Souls drifting away
Souls drifting away
Souls drifting away
Souls drifting away
You can still achieve the goals you have set
None to you is unattainable
Step away from all that which consumes you
Free your heart and mind from the corruption now
