Lyrics
Retract
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.
Step back retract and gain a little perspective
How do your ideas affect the collective
If this is right then why does violence permeate
Blood lost over an answerless debate
That book seems a little dusty don't you think
Smoke and mirrors, do you get nervous when you blink?
You're holding onto something that isn't there
I don't quite understand that you could be so unaware
You're holding onto something that isn't there
And without it your life would feel so bare
Your mind is closed if it doesn't justify, what you want to hear
How many more will, fall at the mercy of your hands
How many more will change their lives for your demands
