A Longer View

When the dark comes

And the cold in our bones

And we're seduced to close our eyes

Can we pretend it doesn't show

Or refuse to let go

In a hell of your own design

There's no more

Speaking truth or falsehood

There's no more

Difference between bad or good

There's no more

Separation in our neighborhoods

The perspective of a few

Is gonna change with another view

There's no more

So, everyone about turn

When we swore that we'd stand firm

Nobody move

Nobody breathe

Nobody be

If you have to make a choice

Do you choose to find your voice?

Of who to pain

Who to praise

And who to please

There's no more

Speaking truth or falsehood

There's no more

Difference between bad or good

There's no more

Separation in our neighborhoods

The perspective of a few

Is gonna change with another view

Oh the message we've been receiving

From a man that's not worth believing

Starving on the ghost pains of empathy

When the call goes out for war

Or when it comes to your front door

How fine the line 'tween friend and enemy

There's no more

Speaking truth or falsehood

There's no more

Difference between bad or good

There's no more

Separation in our neighborhoods

The perspective of a few

Is gonna change with another view

There's no more (Pain and suffering)

No more

There's no more (Dark imagining)

No more

There's no more (Legend of humanity)

Oh

Oh no more

The perception of a few

Is gonna change with a longer view

There's no more
