Lyrics

I know there's something wrong stop making it up

I recognize that something is amiss, stop fabricating it.

We're too proud to see we've lost more than our trust

We are too proud to realize that we've lost more than just trust.

And now there's nothing left, well's dead and dried up

Now there's nothing remaining; all is lifeless and depleted.

Its disease has left a foul taste in our cup

The impact of its affliction has tainted our experiences.

It just keeps on flowing

The negative influence continues unabated.

And we drift on knowing

We continue forward with awareness.

It just keeps on flowing

The negative influence persists.

This babble from our mouth

Superficial talk emanates from our mouths.


Who we are I fear most of the time

I am apprehensive about our identity most of the time.

Carry on shuffling in order and in line

We persist in a structured and orderly manner.

Who we are I fear most of the time

I am apprehensive about our identity most of the time.

Carry on whipping boy, stare into the light

Continue enduring hardships, confront the intensity of the situation.

Stare into the light

Face the intensity directly.

And it feels familiar for good reason

The familiarity of the situation is for a valid reason.


I want us to break the case we're in

I desire for us to break free from our current state.

With one of the tools of this catatonic skin

Using the tools available, break free from the numbness.

Remove all the parts

Discard all the negative elements.

I want us to face the shape we're in

Confront and acknowledge the situation we are in.

A world of confusion awaits our sons and kin

The next generation faces a world of confusion.

Lets reset it all

Let's start anew, reset everything.

Lets reset it all

Reiterate the call to reset everything.


Well it stings and it hurts, is this how it's meant to be

The pain and discomfort are part of the cost of being in control and achieving a renewed future.

Well it stings and it hurts, is this how it's meant to be

-

Well it stings and it hurts, a small price to pay to be

-

In control and rebirth what our future's meant to be

-

Who we are I fear most of the time

Concerns about our identity persist.

So carry on whipping boy, stare into the light

Continue enduring hardships, face the intensity.

I want us to face the shape we're in

Confront and acknowledge the situation we are in.

A world of confusion awaits our sons and kin

The next generation faces a world of confusion.

Let's reset it all (we are, we are, we are)

Reiterate the call to reset everything.

Let's reset it all (we are, we are, we are)

These words of wisdom come with lack of vision

Repeated expression of witnessing the lack of foresight in imparted wisdom, indicating a realization of the shortcomings in guidance.

This is the first day I've ever had to stand and witness

-

These words of wisdom come with lack of vision

-

This is the first day I've ever had to stand and witness

-

These words of wisdom come with lack of vision

-

This is the first day I've ever had to stand and witness

-

These words of wisdom come with lack of vision

-

This is the first day I've ever had to stand and witness

-

These words of wisdom come with lack of vision

-

This is the first day I've ever had to stand and witness

Emphasizes the gravity of standing witness to these shortcomings.
