lyrics

Part 1:
Do you really have a choice
No one wants to hear your voice
How much longer must you wait
For something you'll appreciate

Back and forth
Up and down
Back and forth
Up and down

Always easier said than done
You know that I'm not having fun
Don't know how I'm holding on
Another day, here comes the dawn

Back and forth
Up and down
Back and forth
Up and down

Part 2:
Are you really you?
IN my reflection of me
Or an image you despise?
Is there value in what you see
That speaks of our demise
We hold ourselves so cleverly
To appease the elder gods

And a river of opportunity
Flows past the jaded mind

And you know deep down
You can make a change
To find a world
So devine
To take a chance
To find yourself

And everything seems so secure
And all that you once held so dear
Seems so very far away
An essence of your childhood near
Your truest self can now escape

(guitar solo)

The Great Debate
Has brought you to the end
Maybe that's just what it takes
Fate has opened up your mind
Shown you who you are inside
The Great Debate
Has brought you to the end
Maybe that's just what it takes
Fate has opened up your mind
Shown you who you are inside
Hate has no place in your life
No time to decide
Who is wrong or right

Part 3:
The meaning of life
Has no meaning
Starve the machine
Begin the fasting

A walking corpse
Defiled and rotten
An embryo
Long forgotten
