Parallels ft. James Sandells Lyrics

As you took the last toke of your cigarette

You approached a place that you won't forget

Defaced with graffiti, neon sign partially lit

A budget corner store, you were harshly judging it

But nobody else was open, so you chose to bite the bullet

Stepped inside to see the unhygienic man with a mullet

Then you grabbed the stuff you needed, pulled out your wallet

Bought a scratch card, and hoped to make a profit

Instantly dismissed it, placed the card in your pocket

Got back home to charge your phone, plug in the socket

Pulled out the card, got a coin to check your losses

Scratched off the card, and your wealth skyrockets

Two years later, life consists of money, drugs and women

Never cared for criticism, 'cause you could just buy opinions

There's no room for self improvement when you live in these conditions

Friends refused to argue due to your financial position

Bring your mind back

To the present

Don't look back for

Timeless essence

Tear away

Fabled resistance

Mundus auteum electiones

Never ending

Pointless questions

Will I live this life that's mentioned?

Bathed in fire

Now slowly burning

Time made bars

There's no returning back

Don't look back

Don't look back

Don't look back

Don't look back

Don't look back

Don't look back

Don't look back

Don't look back

Content with how you're living, but feels like something is missing

But if this is your dream life, how come you don't feel like you're winning?

There's been no self progress in two years, still a shallow human being

The kind who judges the guy that sold you the life that you were seeking

Bring your mind back

To the present

Don't look back for

Timeless essence

Tear away

Fabled resistance

Mundus auteum electiones

Every choice we make creates a world of possibilities

So what would be the case if you were taught responsibility?

And how would life be like if you were never in proximity

Of the store that sold you the scratch card of liabilities?

Perhaps you'd have some traits that dial up desirability

Like feeling compassion for those who cope with disabilities

Which helps you get a wife to enjoy everyday activities with

And maybe a couple of kids, is this the life you could've lived?

Bring your mind back

To the present

Don't look back for

Timeless essence

Tear away

Fabled resistance

Mundus auteum electiones

Never ending

Pointless questions

Will I live this life that's mentioned?

Bathed in fire

Now slowly burning

Time made bars

There's no returning back

The present

This essence

Resistance

No questions

Our fire

Time made bars

There's no returning back

Don't look back

Don't look back

Don't look back

Don't look back

Don't look back

Don't look back

Don't look back

Don't look back

As you took your last toke of a cigarette

You look back on life, and with full regret

As you stare at the mirror, your true self you forget

Only see a vague figure, just a silhouette

There's no returning back
