Satisfied
War · Waving White [2007]
Open up your eyes and take a look around
See if what you saw is more than what you've found
CHORUS:
Have you given up all of your dreams?
Have you given yourself to the things that push everyone away?
Are you satisfied? Are you satisfied?
Do you feel alive? Are you satisfied with your life?
The grass is always greener on the other side
But when you try to cross you see it's all a lie
CHORUS
There's more to life than this
There's more than emptiness,
there's more than what they tell you you can have, than you can be
Are you satisfied? Are you satisfied? Are you satisfied? Are you satisfied?
Do you feel alive? Are you satisfied with your life?
See if what you saw is more than what you've found
CHORUS:
Have you given up all of your dreams?
Have you given yourself to the things that push everyone away?
Are you satisfied? Are you satisfied?
Do you feel alive? Are you satisfied with your life?
The grass is always greener on the other side
But when you try to cross you see it's all a lie
CHORUS
There's more to life than this
There's more than emptiness,
there's more than what they tell you you can have, than you can be
Are you satisfied? Are you satisfied? Are you satisfied? Are you satisfied?
Do you feel alive? Are you satisfied with your life?
