Build Songtext
von Kwestion

Too many lonely hearts on the search for buried treasure

Anxious ain′t they often work for something gaining pleasure

Quick to take the spare change provided by the sweatshops
To further their investment, incorporated pawn shops
Cause even when the dawn starts the night begins to close in
We hide behind the truth and run away like overdosing
But everything is alright just make another purchase
Just buy a sense of comfort and stay focused on the surface
They tell us that it's worth it to sacrifice our true sense
Don′t worry about the problems, we got the perfect blueprint
With emancipated doctrines and dishonest politicians

They tell us what we need and we seem to lose our vision
In the midst of what feels good I'll trade in for what is right

Confront the image in the mirror, press the pain inside
Engulf these airways with a truth that's hard to speak about
Bang it in your eardrum and resonate the sound


But I can′t lose my passion I put faith into action and I build
Clinging on to the sign, hop along for the ride if you will
Cause they can′t take the soul even if the flesh is old and it's ill
But I can′t lose my passion I put faith into action and I build

Too many years we stood by with loose ties
Look the other way but where the truth lies moves by
Circumstances and not the convictions that we possess
It's easy to rest when you give in to the man you detest
Giving in when it starts pressing in
Realities of life begin to settle in
Yeah, persuaded by greed and signs that are seldom seen
Excuses are cheap, no longer remembering
What came before so we take it all raw
Just to fend for some change and we say it′s all for

A greater cause till it turns into a dollar
Our actions speak louder so somebody's got to holler
Cause life is but a blink and time is just a second thing
About the men who stand with signs looking for food to eat
Whether the sign is cardboard or a billboard
Tell me the reason we don′t stop cause we want more
For ourselves


But I can't lose my passion I put faith into action and I build
Clinging on to the sign, hop along for the ride if you will
Cause they can't take the soul even if the flesh is old and it′s ill
But I can′t lose my passion I put faith into action and I build

Bless me to bless you and test you
Bring about a new breed, not another test tube
You know I've been rude, everything I′ve been through

Just another platform to tell you how he's been good

Keep you more than spiritual, the whole reciprocal

Feed you when you′re hungry just to meet you in the physical
Building up what's torn down, ground zero town

Nothing left to do but to meet you in the middle now
The road is lonely but I gots to follow closely
Especially when knowing I didn′t choose it, it chose me
So drop the needle slowly when you're playing the record
You might get more than you would have intended
And move like the music suggested
And feel like you're living domestic
Be real like it′s Cyphers that left it
I′ve never slept in, only slept on

So I press on, giving you the words I rest on
Suggestion

But I can't lose my passion I put faith into action and I build
Clinging on to the sign, hop along for the ride if you will
Cause they can′t take the soul even if the flesh is old and it's ill
But I can′t lose my passion I put faith into action and I build

Now I don't claim to be the smartest man
But I know what I know

And with my two plus two equations
Bank account in the basement
Faith statements driving towards the goals that I′m chasing
Who am I to judge the next man's agenda?

We all breed from placenta's mentalities
Looking for ways to justify our carnalities
And get mad at the man who finds his freedom in Christianity
Why is it so wrong to believe in something unseen
Like Martin Luther King when he had a dream
A dream bigger than your thought that God won′t use a sinner
And yet you sit around waiting for a deliverer
While the bum on your street corner asks you to help him with dinner

But no, it′s that he don't work hard enough right?

And we earn everything by the sweat of our brow
And when we get to the end of our lives
We′ll look back and think
Wow, I had a house, a few cars
And an insurance policy to cover my funeral expenses
