Patterns

[Verse 1: Serj Tankian]

Life is a story

Go ahead and find your sight

Life is your glory

Go ahead and live the night

[Pre-Chorus: Serj Tankian]

But to live means to be here

In the present, now

Do you try to bow for the gift of your day

Then you cede to the morning sun

Sun!

[Chorus: Serj Tankian]

Pretending that we live doesn't make us alive

[Verse 2: Serj Tankian]

Life is a story

Go ahead and find your sight

[Pre-Chorus: Serj Tankian]

But to live means to be here

In the present, now

Do you try to bow for the gift of your day

Then you cede to the morning sun

Sun!

[Chorus: Serj Tankian]

Pretending that we see doesn't give us the sight

Pretending that we live doesn't make us alive

[Interlude: Serj Tankian]

What is it that makes us lose sight

True sight, of what is real and essential?

I'll take organised patterns of chaos

Over the chaotic organisations of man, any day

[Chorus: Serj Tankian]

Pretending that we see doesn't give us the sight

Pretending that we live doesn't make us alive

Pretending that we see doesn't give us the sight

Pretending that we live doesn't make us alive
