Time to put priorities in order
As we dance across the border
Of what is love and what is madness
Time to deal with all the sadness
Buried deep beneath the floorboards
In the houses entertainment built
Where the silence seems to double every day
Mother, tell me is this what you wanted
I have tried my best to keep away
From the privilege in my father's name
So who's to blame for certain?
Who can it be behind the curtain?
The one who orchestrates the violence
Boasting overtures of blinding rage from the family stage
It's changing us (changing us)
Never waking up (waking up)
Just look at us
And see we are the way we are because you are the way you are
It's simple
Yeah so simple
But if it's so simple
Why can't we just get it?
It's torture
Rumors whispered around the corners
Scratching at our brains like fingernails
I guess that's what we get for telling tales
Until there's none to tell
It's changing us (changing us)
Never waking up (waking up)
Just look at us
And see we are the way we are because you are the way you are
It's simple
Yeah it's simple
But if it's so simple
Why can't we just get it?
And see we are the way we are because you are the way you are
I think it's simple
Yeah it's simple
But if it's so simple
Why can't we just get it?
And see we are the way we are because you are the way you are
It's simple
