LYRICS
If you want
You know we could
Do what we should
… for mankind
Not for want
We’ve done what we did
Left with squat
All is gone
Unhid
Out in plain view
For all of you
Plain view
From whence to thence
Has been
Bounce back again
Bounce back, bounce back higher
Aspire
How come what will become
Will become of me
The part of I that is be
Therefore
I am
I think?

LYRICS
Trying to figure it out
What the fuss is about
Now that I see there is doubt
… in humanity

When You lose faith in your fellow man
It’s hard to try to be the best that you can

When we lose sight it’s just a man-made plan
Obvious to us we don’t give a god damn
When You lose faith in your fellow man
It’s hard to try to be the best that you can

When we lose self-respect can’t reflect
Habit of our habitat wreaked and wrecked
When You lose faith in your fellow man
It’s hard to try to be the best that you can

When we put hand in hand we can understand
How to be kind to our fellow man

LYRICS
Who are you now?
Changes somehow
Do you still reside
In the shell inside
(Hide in the hide)

Is it skin deep
Did your soul creep
Do you still reside
In the shell inside
(Hide in the hide)

Is the heart true
Is that still you?
Do you still reside
In the shell inside
(Hide in the hide)

Yet, no regret
Did you forget
To the letter
Are you better?

LYRICS
In the heat of the moment
Of passion causing crime
To the beat of the movement
Shouting it’s about time
Can you hear reckoning coming
Feel the heat of marching feet
They say every dog has it’s day
’til hubris and nemesis meet
Has it really come to this?!?!?
Nemesis,
Has it really come to this?

LYRICS
Do you know the time of day
How to go or the which way
Do you know stalker or prey
Black, white, or gray
In the shade of the shades
In the throws of the shadows

Do you want to cross the sublime line
Between right and wrong
As seen in the difference between
Trite… and same old song
Between right and wrong
Between wrong and right
Between day and night
