Tear

There is a tear running through this land
Such a strange tear that I might never understand
There is a tear dividing this whole crowd
And now I fear that our time is running out
There is a tear running through my hand
Such a strange tear that I might never understand
There are more tears running in this crowd
And now I fear that our time is running out

They closed the gates thinking it would
Change the world around them
They closed their eyes thinking it would
Alter their reality
They say they plead for freedom of speech
But only if it suits them
They think they got it all figured out
But they're locked inside their echo chamber
They’re shouting and they don’t see
How ugly they’re inside
When they're shouting what they think
Are they actually thinking at all?
This is not the
World I want to live in
These are not the
People I choose as my friends
And if they think
That they rule us here
They will find out
That they’re not the majority
- - - and they can’t change a thing
So they have their own little life
And their own narrow mind
Trying to keep the strangers out
Of their empty, hollow world
The louder they shout the more
Ridiculous they are
We will not recede, we are
The thinking, caring crowd
This is not the
World I want to live in
These are not the
People I choose as my friends
And if they think
That they rule us here
They will find out
That they’re not the majority
- - - and they can’t change
- - - they can’t change a thing

Rivers

They said, "Stop to think it out yourself,
Take a world view off our shelf."
They said, "Just these rivers run to sea,
If you want to get there follow me."
Since the walk on dry land feels so tough
There's a point you had enough
Jump into the stream speed down the drain
Then piece by piece you shut down your brain
Close mind
Blind faith
Hollow
Follow
Charismatic is the way they speak
Lighten up the life that's bleak
Eloquent disguise of dubious views
When one feels there is not much to lose
Though the march feels wonky you pursue
While they fine-tune every screw
Until they've made your reality
And their view is all that you can see
Close mind
Blind faith
Hollow
Follow
Finally, congrats, part of the crew
You're recruited, spread the view
Like some dangerous pollen on the land
Lure them to the rivers, off the sand
Close mind
(Don't you question, just follow the rivers)
Blind faith
(Don't you question, just follow the rivers)
Hollow
(Don't you question, just follow the rivers)
Follow

Lesson To Y'all
04:11
|

|
They came to us pretending to improve things
By stirring up our inner deepest fears
Their golden flute of promises would lure us
Onto a dangerous path we sought with cheers
And on and on and on and on and on we danced into the night
Without a thought and without fear and without fright
Of course there also were the ones that warned us
But we just shoved away the gloomy tones
So smiling we sawed off the branch we sat on
Pretending we were building our new thrones
And on and on and on and on and on we danced into the night
Without a thought and without fear and without fright
So let that be a lesson to y'all
So let that be a lesson to y'all
We never realised the exact moment
At which we crossed the point of no return
But at one point you cannot keep ignoring
That houses, districts, cities, countries burn
And on and on and on and on and on we slipped into the night
Without the courage, without hope and without light
Well, to a place that's already divided
A further mental wedge just rips the ground
And by the time we realised our wrong move
It was too late, the future had been drowned
And on and on and on and on and on we stumbled through the night
Whilst realising that we wronged the right
So let that be a lesson to y'all
So let that be a lesson to y'all
So let that be a lesson to y'all
So let that be a lesson to y'all
So let that be a lesson to y'all

State Of Mankind
07:12

Hey, why won't you look at me?
I'm right there in front of you
Just there in your eyesight
I'm there within your reach
Just shift your gaze around to me
Hey, why won't you speak to me?
Don't you want my opinion?
Or are you playing that game:
Let's pretend all is well
Pretending seems to be
The state of mankind
To leave the weak behind
So, why is the world like this?
When did we accept this?
Out of eyesight out of mind
Let's pretend all is well
Pretending seems to be
The state of mankind
To leave the weak behind
We share our lives, we share our lights
Don't waste it in depths of space
The dire dark depths of space
There is another way to this, you know
There really is another way for this, you know

Broken Bridge

Broken bridge, we have to take the long way
Around until we get there
I know it's long, I see it in your faces
Can I count on you?
Dark days, one might think they're alone there
But we all have the same fate
And what seems impossible alone can
Be reached collectively
Just when it seemed the way was finally easing
You see it melting into the haze
Sometimes we have to stride a long way
The day's just up ahead
Hold on to us, as friends backing each other
(Hold on, won't give up, while a ray of hope)
We'll take the way together again
(is shining 'round here)
Hold on to us, we're friends backing each other
(Hold on, won't give up, while a ray of hope)
Together we'll reach the other side
(is shining)
Broken bridge, we will support each other
And step by step, we will get there
I know I can count on you forever
A thought can comfort you
To know, we will push through
