The Angelcy Lyrics

All the folks they wished us well around the wishing well
Despite everyone around us wishing us a happy future, we still struggle to survive

I mean all around the wishing well we go hungry
The wishing well has not provided us with the resources we need to survive

All the folks that never last stayed to wallow in the past
The people who refuse to move forward are the ones that always fall behind

I mean all around the wishing well we walk light years
While everyone else is stuck in the past, we are moving forward - it feels like we have walked light years

And you can tell angels from devils by the way they're played
We can distinguish between good and evil based on the actions they take

They hold different grudges but they're still the same
Good and evil may have different motives, but at their core they are the same

All are dying pieces of a dying game
We are all slowly losing the game of life

We are one, we are one, we must not complain
We are all humans and must support each other despite our struggles

(I mean it, never complain, boss)
Reinforcing the idea that we need to stay positive and keep moving forward

'Cause we are all being punched by the clock
Time is passing by so quickly and we can feel its impact on our lives

Oh caveman, caveman where d'ya go?
Wondering where humankind has gone wrong in its progress

There's no spare land and nothing to know
We are running out of natural resources and knowledge

All around the wishing well there's just laughter
Despite our struggles, we still find happiness in the world

Fighters fall and lovers leave
Even the most committed individuals eventually crumble and fail

All we've ever been taught is to need our need
We have been trained to prioritize our own needs above all else

All around the wishing well a disaster
Despite our happiness, there is still chaos and destruction around us

And you can tell angels from feathers by the way they flake
We can discern the true nature of others based on their actions and choices

But no one ever knows it 'cause we're all too late
By the time we discover the truth about someone, it is often too late to make a difference

Nursing isms and visions and heroes at the gates
We hold onto ideologies, dreams, and imaginary heroes to cling to hope in a deteriorating world

As if it's all one big mistake
It feels like everything in the world is going wrong, and we cannot reverse it

But now the biosphere's asleep
The balance of nature is disturbed, and everything seems to be in a dormant state

It's just you and me
We are the only ones left to navigate the world

And all the thirst drowns in the sea
Our desires are meaningless in the grand scheme of things

All are dying pieces of the meant to be
We are all fated to perish eventually

We are one, we are one, we are lost, we are free
We are all in this human experience together and are free to navigate it as we please

Finally we're free
We are finally liberated from societal expectations and can make our own decisions

But even if you're king - or queen - you're still mocked
Regardless of one's status, they will still feel the weight of criticism and judgement from others

You tell your mama and your papa and your children to
Passing on the knowledge to others

Never step over my body it just makes me blue
Don't undermine or take advantage of those who are struggling

Roll the rock
Keep making progress, no matter how difficult it may seem

(Roll the rock)
Reinforcing the idea of progress
