Lyrics
Words by Keram Malicki-Sanchez (ASCAP/SOCAN)
Music by Blue Dog Pict (ASCAP/SOCAN)
What is the motivation
To having an education
That leaves you with the sensation
That you must have it come undone?
Because it wraps around your eyes
As it defines you path in life
It sets the goals for which you strive
It tells you why you are alive
Alive
Alive
Alive
So why are you alive?
Where is the ambiguity
A future born from history?
What is a world I cannot see
Beyond the doctrines you've fed me?
I've got cold and heavy gun
and Yeah, it's made to kill someone
You're always teaching me what's right
Which lets me figure out what's wrong
If you keep telling me what's white
If you keep telling me what's black
You're telling me that I can't see
Some kinda obvious dividing track
'cause all I can see this days are sides
Whose concrete definitions stray
Take those filters off your eyes
They're slowly defining my day
Do you teach preservation
At your institution?
Do you teach preservation
At your institution?
Do you teach preservation
At your institution?
Severance:
These polar flares must come undone
All your fears
Must not unfold in your actions
Maybe the burden is the child
Who must not grow up to be wild
So it's contained,
It's groomed, it's styled
It's given a name to then be filed
It's gonna fail away
Another useless day, yeah
Here comes another
and another
useless day
So throw your stale words away
And take a deeper breath today, no no
Take a deeper,
Deeper,
Breath today...
