Control takes hold and sometimes it doesn’t let you go So you escape in chains, still hanging, holding you down It's human nature can’t help it And there are disorders there is chaos Constant, stirring up tornadoes with dust and destruction and we are Powerless Peaceful One, don’t you love us Say it is so Some given grace and others no place And some want all the control and all the power and when others fight it all access is Denied How would they feel in our shoes Dirt under nails on the floor And the devil crawling under the door One of Light, We will never know and it’s not our place A thing called faith filling in a blank void When times are trying We’re finding And finding and finding and finding You must still be here Trying Don’t give up on us These times can make you grow distant Because of our nature And it grows harder for us to See you in all that we’ve become Inside Here in purgatory and ploys Brainwashed by toys and shiny lights When beauty surrounds us If only we could finally see it Magnificent One, When times are trying Don’t give up on us Because of our nature Drifting, you'll be there in the afterglow all, so easily taken away
