Modesty Is Dead Songtext
von Oxygen Thief

Well modesty is dead
It′s been replaced with arrogance
There is no compromise
No halfway house for anyone to rest
And if patience is a virtue
Then this world is steeped in sin
There's no individual
No institution that escapes this mess and wins

I′m losing the balance between
Caring and carefree
There's too much pressure
Too much value placed on these dictated currencies

And if patience is a virtue
What's the point in urgency?
Yeah, if patience is a virtue
What′s the point in urgency?


Slow down
Relax
Slow down
Relax
Slow down
And relax
Slow down
No thanks

It′s just a moment on the lips
But then a lifetime in the shit
Well sticks and stones only break bones
But the wrong words could break the world

I am searching for a balance between
Caring and carefree
Everyone has their own opinion
And yours means everything to me
(Everything to me)

And patience is not a virtue
So let's end this fallacy
Patience is not a virtue
If we close our eyes we′ll see

We'll see
We′ll see
We'll see


That there is nothing out on the horizon
There is nothing polluting the sky
There is nothing hiding out in these dark corners
There is nothing here but you and I
There are searchlights guiding thoughts of fugitives
There are defences keeping riots at bay
There are moments of definition and clarity
There′s devotion and there's positive sighs

So come away
Come away
Come away from the edge of the day
Just come away
Come away
Come away from the edge of the day
