Backcurrents - Patterns Lyrics

We're tracing the patterns back to the grave
Thanks to parents of parents to show us the way
I won't let this enslave us, put that checkbook away
Paying payments on payments to sleep through the day

(Paydays, work-weeks, I've paid more than I owe)
To sleep through the day
(Headaches, no sleep, when this stops I don't know)

I need to get out from in this, did life pass me by?
The weight of the world is endless, just leave it to lie...

I'm in love with the patterns, I'm in love with myself
All the others don't matter, they're no good for me health
I won't let this thing trick us, turn that healer away
Who needs thanks and forgiveness, when you can just pray?

(Paydays, work-weeks, I've paid more than I owe)
When you can just pray?
(Headaches, no sleep, when this stops I don't know)

I need to get out from in this, did life pass me by?
The weight of the world is endless, just leave it to lie...
I stare at this blank white canvas, the colors don't match
I'm starting a new beginning, I'm starting from scratch

The colors don't match
I'm starting from scratch

I need to get out from in this, did life pass me by?
The weight of the world is endless, just leave it to lie...
I stare at this blank white canvas, the colors don't match
I'm starting a new beginning, I'm starting from scratch
