Periphery – Alpha Lyrics

It’s always better on the other side of it
Wanting what you’ll never have⁴⁰
And it’s a goddamn broken state of mind
Yeah, the one that we’ve been living in⁴¹
It’s never greener inside the mess we’re in
Wanting what you’ll never have⁴²
The less we are content the more we throw away⁴³
What little time we have left to grow
Separate mind from hate
Punch through the unknown⁴⁴
And it will leave the little time we have

Stop bleeding on the inside, we are alive
And it’s more than enough to paint the walls that are white
Can we show the ones who are blind?⁴⁵
It’s envy been eating away at the core of us
Wanting what you’ll never have⁴⁶
And isn’t it the point of living to breathe
Knowing this is all we get⁴⁷
It’s never greener inside the mess we’re in
Wanting what you’ll never have
The less we are content the more we throw away
What little time we have left to grow
Separate mind from hate
Punch through the unknown
And it will leave the little time we have

Stop bleeding on the inside, we are alive
And it’s more than enough to paint the walls that are white
Can we show the ones who are blind?
It’s envy been eating away at the core of us
Wanting what you’ll never have
And isn’t it the point of living to breathe
Knowing this is all we get
It’s never greener inside the mess we’re in
Wanting what you’ll never have
The less we are content the more we throw away
What little time we have left to grow
Separate mind from hate
Punch through the unknown
And it will leave the little time we have

Show them that we’re not blind⁴⁸

Stop bleeding on the inside, we are alive
And it’s more than enough to paint the walls that are white
Can we show the ones who are blind?
It’s envy been eating away at the core of us
Wanting what you’ll never have
And isn’t it the point of living to breathe
Knowing this is all we get
It’s never greener inside the mess we’re in
Wanting what you’ll never have
The less we are content the more we throw away
What little time we have left to grow
Separate mind from hate
Punch through the unknown
And it will leave the little time we have

Fly past the withered trees
Ascend to holy air and breathe⁴⁹
Fly past the withered trees
Ascend to holy air and breathe

This want is menacing it will not leave us be
Can we part this?⁵⁰
The bastard in our brain will chew until it bleeds
How did we get like this?⁵¹
How did we get like this?

Step out in the rain
Feel life in our veins⁵²
Step out in the rain
Feel life in our veins
