Lyrics
The Body
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've been shackled underneath all these lies for the last time
And I'm throwing them aside
There's too much apathy that clouds my mind
Words cannot express the sadness I'm feeling
If this is all we are
I'm walking out the door (I'm walking out!)
I want no part of it
There has to be something more
Hope without action can't be the end
I can say "I love you" it's never enough
Aren't we the ones who walk the narrow road?
Aren't we the voices that come from before the throne?
And when we stand for revolution's sake
The world will know, they'll know your name
If this is all we are
I'm walking out the door (I'm walking out!)
I want no part of it
There has to be something more
Speaking hope (without action) can't be the end
I can say "I love you", but god, it's never enough
It's never been enough
It's never been...
This is the end of all you have become
Open our hearts and let yourself in
I won't stand for this
This can't be the body you spoke of
'Cause I have forgotten how to love!
This can't be the body you spoke of
I have forgotten how to love!
And I won't stand for this!
I won't stand for this!
I will not stand for this!
And I won't stand for this
