Nothing Changes (Everything Stays The Same) (lyrics and music by C.R.Lewis) (Sung by the Poet:) Nothing changes, everything stays the same Nothing changes, all that once was, remains Nothing changes, everything stays the same Nothing changes, everything stays the same Nothing changes, everyone craves their chains Nothing changes, everything stays the same It's such a comfort for us to know That when we die, it's all gonna go On, just like it's always gone on And when we lay our heads down at night The dreams we dream will fade with the light Man can stand the Known more than he can the Unknown And which would you prefer to be? The chaos of imagined reality Or the everyday horrors you can call all your own? It's not enough to want just to change Only the most immediate pain True altruism's an incomprehensible code Causes nothing changes, everything stays the same Nothing changes, all that was, will remain Nothing changes, everything stays the same So this is what damnation is The replay of a million years Of hating, fighting, fearing, lying Torturing each other, and then Dying Are we cursed to continue on making the same Despicable errors again and again Till nothing of goodness or mercy could ever exist? What's worth protecting? Our own worthless hides As greed, fear and hatred eat us up inside Can somebody tell me, what have we become? Nothing changes, everything stays the same Nothing changes, everyone craves their chains Nothing changes, everything stays the same
