We all have it, that thing
That lives inside of us, is part of us
It speaks the worst in your ear
Always trying to bring you down
Sometimes we listen to it, believe it
Political Left or Political Right
To this conundrum there’s no end in sight
We bicker over how we should behave
While the world burns beneath our ancestors’ graves

The wheels must turn round and round
Ask not why we do it, question never
The songs of tomorrow whisper in the wind
Telling tales of yesterday’s sorrow and today’s sin
Listen to the lyrics as they tickle your ears
Open your heart to their truths and let go of your fears

Haunting our present moment
Strangling the future we wish for
The verbal chains locking us down
Tethering to a place we want to flee
Into the ashes our memories fade
A relic in time we looked to break
Molding ourselves into the fabric of forever
Searching for the meaning woven inside
Will we find the missing piece behind it all?
