lyrics

Oh the words of the wise are lost on the masses
When popular opinion is guard your own ass-ets
At all costs cause they're out to steal your shit
Why do we think we're in control
Why do we think we're all aloe

There's a lone voice crying in the wilderness
There's a cold wind blowing in
There are bones forgotten in the ice
There are stones marking old graves

Watch your own back you're the only one that can do it and
Fight your own fight you're the only one who goes through it
Can we find a common interest here?
Or am I the only one who's needs are sincere

Am I less than a man if I don't have what you have
Am I less than human if I don't understand that you are too

Am I the only one who's got a mom or a dad
Am I the only one who gets happy or sad
Am I the only one who thinks what I think
Am I the only one who need water to drink
Am I the only one who is valuable
Am I the only one who's gonna get old and die
So why draw this line
And believe the lie

But are we love?
Or is it within us?
Can we trust?
Or just become religious
We plagiarize
We repeat history
This moment is a melody
Veiled in mystery
