The Violence

Dancing on the crumbling precipices
 The rocks are coming loose just at the edge
 Are we laughing?
 Are we crying?
 Are we drowning?
 Are we dead?
 Or is it all a dream?
 ♪
 The bombs are getting closer everyday
 "That could never happen here," we used to say
 Has this war come to our doorstep?
 Has this moment finally come?
 Or is it all a dream?
 ♪
 Are we not good enough?
 Are we not brave enough?
 Is the violence in our nature
 Just the image of our maker?
 Are we not good enough?
 Are we not brave enough?
 To become something greater
 Than the violence in our nature
 Are we not good, good enough?
 Or is it all a dream?
 ♪
 To a predetermined fate are we condemned?
 Or maybe we're book without an end?
 We're not stories, we're not actors
 We're awake and in control
 And this is not a dream
 ♪
 So can we break this mold
 And set in motion something new?
 Forgetting what we know
 An evolution overdue
 Fight the current
 Pull the ripcord
 Get away!
 Are we not good enough?
 Are we not brave enough?
 Is the violence in our nature
 Just the image of our maker?
 Are we not good enough?
 Are we not brave enough?
 To become something greater
 Than the violence in our nature
 Are we not good, good enough?
 ♪
 Well-trodden paths are all we take
 We need a storm
 Let's pray for rain now
 To wash these roads away
 Let's get off track and wander far
 Same roads lead to same destinations
 Follow nothing but your heart
 We're talking in our sleep
 And sleeping through our lives
 And we dream of the places where we never die
 We step from the shadows
 And into the light
 
 Are we not good enough?
 Are we not brave enough?
 Is the violence in our nature
 Just the image of our maker?
 Are we not good enough?
 Are we not brave enough?
 To become something greater
 Than the violence in our nature
 Are we not good enough?
 Are we not brave enough?
 Are we not good, good enough?
 Or was it all a dream?
