Lyrics

Across the ocean lives are falling down
Here we stand designed
In our lands forcibly in doubt
While we stay in line

Can you hold onto my microscope?
I’ll pretend I’m on the need-to-know
But I want to know

Within our seas and history we blindfold our ways
And we leave behind In our minds
Decades turned from days
The name that we derived

And we’re told the way in which to go
I’ll pretend I’m on the need-to-know
But I need to know

I need to know through this dotted road
If they’ll trace my destination
Don’t want to fold into what I’m told
And their pre-definitions

Hold on to reason
I am not your legion I won’t represent
Don’t paint your colours
Count me out of your numbers I won’t be your paper skin

If history goes down in silence
And what we see is what we’re told
Then how are we to live in lesson
Just who are we?
