letra de who we were in the first place - johnny cypher

[chorus]
the line was divided, the line was drawn
was connected and overcome
was what’s come across
until totally and utterly the light is lost

[verse 1]
in our time we’ve been granted no gifts
we have been handed a deuce, until we captain of our own ships
we have created for ourself an image so strong
divided all the land and just watched to rest for the one
and we have picked our sights just to protect our own
and yet we draw the agreement whenever the pressure is on
to try to comply with demands until we hit the right targets
we plan to be charmed by these idealized markets
we connect the dots, and then we’ll charge that finder’s fee
what we have we’ve lost, and what we’ve lost we decide to keep
in our minds deep down, in our hearts deep down
in our [?] deep down, in our paths deep down
in our voice whenever we are seeking out our own mental homes
we’ve been hit by the melancholy whenever the grass is greener
and when inside you know that you can compete with the inner demon
a glass, indeed a mirror, but neither image is the winner
‘cause neither image in the mirror can overcome the picture

[chorus]
the line was divided, the line was drawn
was connected and overcome
was what’s come across
until totally and utterly the light is lost

[verse 2]
look into your own eyes, you can already call that bluff
remember your very own lies, that constant tangle that you walk
the longer that you’ve been playing this, the longer that it will take to go over each and every single one of your mistakes
we have original sin built deep into ourselves, some say that it’s hopeless
‘cause we’ve been built to destroy, and that could leave you hopeless
but we’ve been given a gift to attempt to find that twice
before you letting that last little slip of your cold self subside
before you pile up every one of your hopes and your dreams
and you watch from the cityscape as it [?] beneath
watch your job, your family, money and security
those junkies will retreat but they will never be granted immunity
so learn to apply, not deny, what it is that you think
when at night you can decide to unleash or rewind
in the heat of the moment or any calm before that storm
sure it’s always been a choice when you’ve opened up the wrong door

[chorus]
the line was divided, the line was drawn
was connected and overcome
was what’s come across
until totally and utterly the light is lost

[verse 3]
so you turned the key, and you opened up the door
not one, not two, not three, but you find yourself as a four choices
we live our lives around these f-cking choices
we react and we retract until we tip the right boxes
relying on your character, that name that you constantly give
you ask yourself, as if your name was given as a gift or a curse
and then you’ll attempt to humble it with your words
by your own imagination and watch things get worse
now, who the f-ck is that that i’m looking at in that mirror?
real deep down who the f-ck am i even looking at in that picture?
have i forgotten why i’m here? am i even living my own life?
this big bad world is like a built-in city
we will grow and adapt in the act of all of the facts
and the mathematic [?] an act of art attack
we give ourselves a name, then we [?] our brave face while we’re hating who we are, who we were in the first place
