Lyrics
Take It To Heart
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.
We take it to heart
With benevolence in our minds
But the will is weak
And intentions are lost in time
We rationalize
And trace our thoughts to times before
When we echoed advertising
And the quest to consume even more
Call it ignorance or greed
Or just a breach in our compassion
That keeps us drowning in decay
We've got to reconnect ourselves
And make it something more than fashion
Before we burn it all away
We learn to ignore
Diverting eyes from proof
Deciding comfort is more
Consequential than the truth
As our humanity wanes
And the blood runs thick upon our hands
We embrace the weakest path
Deciding not to make our stand
Call it ignorance or greed
Or just a breach in our compassion
That keeps us drowning in decay
We've got to reconnect ourselves
And make it something more than fashion
Before we burn it all away
Catatonic invertebrate
Convenience holds our fate
Will not endeavor to defy
If might makes right the way it's read
A purpose for which none were bred
What will our madness justify?
Decrepit slaughterhouses drowning in the filth
Of mutilation
Incarceration
Disease and pestilence devoured all the same
Call it ignorance or greed
Or just a breach in our compassion
That keeps us drowning in decay
We've got to reconnect ourselves
And make it something more than fashion
Before we burn it all away
