about

This track is the result of some 3am inspiration. I am getting tired of all the violence and mayhem that seems to be taking place in our world and I needed to express my feelings in some way. This is the result. I hope people will repeat this sentiment and maybe we can bring about real social change. We're all here together, let's stop thinking about our differences and start looking at each other like we're on the same level.

lyrics

I turn on the TV everyone is still at war
I can't understand what all this fighting's for
Aren't we all neighbors, can't we open up the door?
We can put it all behind us, live in peace forevermore.

Marketers are making their own reality
Fact's confused with fiction and the boundary is hard to see
Social norms have told me what I'm supposed to be
And the last thing that they want is for me to be me.

These are the days that seem so darn depressing
Nothing's cut in stone and they always keep you guessing
These are the times that you find yourself obsessing
All you need to do is find something to light the way

I just want to go someplace where I can have some fun
I seems like everywhere you go somebody's got a gun
All of this has left us feeling like there's nowhere to run
But if that is really true, then they have already won!

These are the days that seem so darn depressing
Nothing's cut in stone and they always keep you guessing
These are the times that you find yourself obsessing
All you need to do is find something to light the way

These are the days that seem so darn depressing
Nothing's cut in stone and they always keep you guessing
These are the times that you find yourself obsessing
Forces from the darkness always are oppressing

These are the days that seem so darn depressing
Nothing's cut in stone and they always keep you guessing
These are the times that you find yourself obsessing
All you need to do is find something to light the way
