The Violence

Dancing on the crumbling precipice
The rocks are coming loose just at the edge
Are we laughing are we crying
Are we drowning are we dead
Or is it all a dream
The bombs are getting closer everyday
That can never happen here we used to say
Have these wars come to our doorstep
Has this moment finally come
Or is it all a dream
Are we not good enough
Are we not brave enough
Is the violence in our nature
Just the image of our maker
Are we not good enough
Are we not brave enough
To become something greater
Than the violence in our nature
Are we not good enough
Or is it all a dream
To a predetermined fate are we condemned
Or maybe we're a book without an end
We're not stories we're not actors
We're awake and in control
And this is not a dream
So can we break this mold
And set in motion something new
Forgetting what we know
An evolution overdue
Fight the current
Pull the ripcord
Get away
Are we not good enough
Are we not brave enough
Is the violence in our nature
Just the image of our maker
Are we not good enough
Are we not brave enough
To become something greater
Than the violence in our nature
Are we not good good enough
We travel back to what we take
We need a storm let's pray for rain now
To wash these roads away
Let's get off track and wander far
Same roads lead to same destinations
Follow nothing but your heart
We're talking in our sleep
And sleeping through our lives
We dream of the places where we never die
We step from our shadows and into the light
Are we not good enough
Are we not brave enough
Is the violence in our nature
Just the image of our maker
Are we not good enough
Are we not brave enough
To become something greater
Than the violence in our nature
Are we not good enough
Are we not brave enough
Are we not good good enough
Or was it all a dream
