Take It to Heart

Lyrics

We take it to heart With benevolence in our minds But the will is weak And intentions are lost in time We rationalize And trace our thoughts to times before When we echoed advertising And the quest to consume even more Call it ignorance or greed Or just a breach in our compassion That keeps us drowning in decay We've got to reconnect ourselves And make it something more than fashion Beforе we burn it all away We learn to ignorе Diverting eyes from proof Deciding comfort is more Consequential than the truth As our humanity wanes And the blood runs thick upon our hands We embrace the weakest path Deciding not to make our stand Call it ignorance or greed Or just a breach in our compassion That keeps us drowning in decay We've got to reconnect ourselves And make it something more than fashion Before we burn it all away Catatonic invertebrate Convenience holds our fate Will not endeavor to defy If might makes right the way it's read A purpose for which none were bred What will our madness justify? Decrepit slaughterhouses drowning in the filth Of mutilation Incarceration Disease and pestilence devoured all the same Call it ignorance or greed Or just a breach in our compassion That keeps us drowning in decay We've got to reconnect ourselves And make it something more than fashion Before we burn it all away
