lyrics

I’ve been searching for the questions that I long ignored
And maybe I don’t know the half of things
Pictures on the floor can always just be hung tomorrow
Today is such a chore, it’s hard to breathe
Turn around, build a wall, and then we’ll make an open door
Where one had once been closed for you and me

It’s not what we know, it’s the way we rise above
It’s a farce you know, this way of lies
It’s more than we’re told, the way it truly binds us all
Is a state in flux like melting ice

I’ve been searching for a truth that lies in bitter cold
And maybe at it’s core is tragedy
Silence has a role, in every single story sold
Should I do what I’m told and gnash my teeth?

It’s not what we know, it’s the way we rise above
It’s a farce you know, this way of lies
It’s more than we’re told, the way it truly binds us all
Is a state in flux like melting ice

I went searching for the answers on a foreign shore
Well maybe that’s the point of inquiry
Speech is silver, silence gold, a picture’s worth more than we’re told
And maybe I’ll go make a masterpiece
