When it is I set my sights On what all man has done I'm not sure it is I like What all man has become This is the evaluation of evolution The evolution of what we've become This is the resurgence of a revolution The revolution of us running from us Though it's one we often fight It is one we seldom win A war that's waged inside our minds Fought for the souls of man The heart is a mechanism, I know this much The mind is fizzled, but it catches the senses The eyes seem human, they've got tear ducts The soul is a body rack, that builds its own fences We seem to treat life as if it's a game Lost in the playground of wonder Where we're our own bullies and nothing's the same As we drag ourselves under Lost in the fray of wonder and folly We're the sheep headed for slaughter It's the war of empathy and apathy Passed down to our sons and daughters

The War Within (Collab with Mike Hauser)
When it is I set my sights On what all man has done I'm not sure it is I like What all man has become This is the evaluation of evolution The evolution of what we've become This is the resurgence of a revolution The revolution of us running from us Though it's one we often fight It is one we seldom win A war that's waged inside our minds Fought for the souls of man The heart is a mechanism, I know this much The mind is fizzled, but it catches the senses The eyes seem human, they've got tear ducts The soul is a body rack, that builds its own fences We seem to treat life as if it's a game Lost in the playground of wonder Where we're our own bullies and nothing's the same As we drag ourselves under Lost in the fray of wonder and folly We're the sheep headed for slaughter It's the war of empathy and apathy Passed down to our sons and daughters
Co-written with the wonderful Mike Hauser!
