Permanent - Lyrics - Imperative Reaction

We found our way out of it Every time before But something's different In spite of our efforts now It seems to take more And we see less But we continue to do the same things Hoping for change So now we're finding out the hardest way Our work is in vain Because this is not a test This is permanent And there is no beyond right now This is the consequence When we choose to blind ourselves We're the determinant Because this is not a test This is permanent We fought ourselves out of it Every time before But we're no different Despite our best efforts Now it always takes more Than we have left But we continue to do the same things Hoping for change So now we're finding out the hardest way Our work is in vain Because this is not a test This is permanent And there is no beyond right now This is the consequence When we choose to blind ourselves We're the determinant Because this is not a test This is permanent Because this is not a test This is permanent And there is no beyond right now This is the consequence When we choose to blind ourselves We're the determinant Because this is not a test This is permanent
