lyrics

When did we forget
all the waves that we could make?
When did we forget?
Forgetting was our great mistake.

What's one to do
when your heroes break your heart?
What more's there to do
when the whole world seems to fall apart?
We live to disappoint.
We live to make the same mistakes.
We demolish and destroy.
We live to ruin everything.

We could inspire.
We should all reach for more.
We should aspire.
We could be so much more.

It's just all too much to bear.
I want to heal. I want to grow.
But it hurts too much to care.
It hurts too much to hope.
It hurts more than you know.

When did we forget
all the mountains we could move?
When did we forget
perfection was our great pursuit?

I believe in a better way of thinking.
I believe in a world worth saving.
But I can't quite find it in me
to see why we are so unforgiving.

We live to disappoint.
We live to make the same mistakes.
We demolish and destroy.
We live to fuck up everything!

We could inspire.
We should all reach for more.
We should aspire.
We could be so much more.
We could inspire.
We should all reach for more.
We should aspire.
We’re so much more!

It’s just all too much to bear
and it hurts too much to care.
It’s just all too much to bear.
I want to heal. I want to grow.
But it hurts too much to care.
It hurts too much to hope. Oh no...
We all demand what's fair.
We want to know how much we're owed.
We all demand our share
and we all reap what we sow
so we deserve a hell below.

When will we stop thinking in terms of “us and them”?
These words, like knives, divide us. We attack and we defend.
We only have one choice—a single hope of to progress:
to turn our focus on ourselves so we may convalesce.
Be critics of your brothers, not of fictive, foreign foes.
Your influence is strongest not in those whom you oppose.
We must all each realize we are one—there is no “them”—
lest we return to “them and us”—to “us and them” again.
Or are we just “us and them”?

It’s just all too much to bear.
I want to heal. I want to grow.
But it hurts too much to care.
It hurts too much to hope.
Oh no…
