A Beautiful Indifference

There's a struggle coming, but to conquer

First they must divide

The machines keep humming night and day

How are we so unaware

Why are you not afraid?

Protests are drumming

While you turn your nose and roll your eyes

Knee-jerk reactions so ingrained

Judging from an arm chair

Cause there is hate

And there is love and there is loss

But there is light and there is dark

Then there is us

And wheather this world burns

Is none of your concern

Caught up in a ticker-tape parade

I have learned to stand up

And just to walk away

Sometimes the cold hearts

Aren't worth the love or the hate

Learn to let go, learn to walk away

Up from the shadows

I'm seduced by the light of the flame

But this time I'm here to stay

Gunpowder residue

Bright lights and turpentine

True colors shining through

As we are stripped of our exteriors

Now, 'cause there is hate

And there is love and there is loss

But there is right and there is wrong

Then there is us

We're falling until we learn to stand up

And just to walk away

Sometimes the cold hearts

Aren't worth the love or the hate

Learn to let go, learn to walk away

Up from the shadows

I'm seduced by the light of the flame

But this time I'm here to stay

Feet first into the quicksand

Every day we are surrendering

Never straying from the game plan

I keep hoping you will take my hand and stand up

The water's overflowing

The walls are breaking

But I know where

I'm going, that we can make it

And there's a light still glowing

And I will chase it

And I've been lost before

And I have been led astray

But this time I'm here to stay
