The Cyberobots - Purchases Lyrics

One day I paused to really see
And dreamed of all I wished could be
But as I thought it became clear
Nothing in this world is mine my dear

No mark of ownership on display
Nothing's stamped with my name to stay
For all we hold is passing by
Even the dreams of having try

And when you wake to this empty sight
Two choices emerge in the morning light
Either let it go let it all release
Or hold on tighter never cease

We all try to fill the hollow space
With things we buy in endless chase
With purchases...
With purchases...
That's why we work until we're spent
That's why our dreams are heaven-sent
For purchases...
For purchases...

We buy our way through empty days
Stacking things to ease the haze
Thinking the more we take and keep
The less we'll feel this void so deep

But possessions fade and treasures rust
And we're left holding faded dust
So do we need what we pursue
Or just a purpose to renew?

We all try to fill the hollow space
With things we buy in endless chase
With purchases...
With purchases...
That's why we work until we're spent
That's why our dreams are heaven-sent
For purchases...
For purchases...

And when you wake to this empty sight
Two choices emerge in the morning light
Either let it go let it all release
Or hold on tighter never cease

We all try to fill the hollow space
With things we buy in endless chase
With purchases...
With purchases...
That's why we work until we're spent
That's why our dreams are heaven-sent
For purchases...
For purchases...
We all try to fill the hollow space
With things we buy in endless chase
With purchases...
With purchases...
That's why we work until we're spent
That's why our dreams are heaven-sent
For purchases...
For purchases...
