Lyrics for Majoring In The Minors

These windy streets tell of a different time What got us here won't get us there It's time for the upright to have insight Don't forget what's important in life This place is like a cage that will imprison you Is comfort only found without adversity? Anyone, anywhere in history Has confronted these realities What got us here won't get us there I'll be there soon, that's why I care Everyone you love will one day fade away Everything you have will rot and decay Everything around us will burn Burn up in the death of the sun It's in the pain that we see our true selves change in the sea of difficulty We are defined When we're blind we will feel our true selves change in the sea of difficulty We leave our comfort behind We are found, found in far away places when all seems lost We are found, found in far away places, not all is lost We must be strong (and cling onto hope) Cling onto hope We must be strong When the ground is shaking out from under our feet We are found in far away places when all seems lost We are found in far away places, not all is lost Stop majoring in the minors It's when you get inside that it widens Stay true tempered (true tempered) You're not the first to find life is tough Circumstantial hope isn't really hope at all It's just a watered down distraction From what stands in our way Hope gives us the ability to face reality The ability to see through it all
