Take It to Heart

[00:01.73] We take it to heart
[00:03.53] With benevolence in our minds
[00:06.24] But the will is weak
[00:08.07] And intentions are lost in time
[00:10.85] We rationalize
[00:12.69] And trace our thoughts to times before
[00:15.38] When we echoed advertising
[00:17.13] And the quest to consume even more
[00:21.66] Call it ignorance or greed
[00:23.40] Or just a breach in our compassion
[00:26.17] That keeps us drowning in decay
[00:30.68] We've got to reconnect ourselves
[00:33.31] And make it something more than fashion
[00:36.07] Before we burn it all away
[00:39.61] We learn to ignore
[00:41.45] Diverting eyes from proof
[00:44.14] Deciding comfort is more
[00:46.85] Consequential than the truth
[00:48.67] As our humanity wanes
[00:51.37] And the blood runs thick upon our hands
[00:54.14] We embrace the weakest path
[00:55.97] Deciding not to make our stand
[00:59.57] Call it ignorance or greed
[01:01.38] Or just a breach in our compassion
[01:04.93] That keeps us drowning in decay
[01:08.53] We've got to reconnect ourselves
[01:11.28] And make it something more than fashion
[01:13.96] Before we burn it all away
[01:22.92] Catatonic invertebrate
[01:25.67] Convenience holds our fate
[01:28.32] Will not endeavor to defy
[01:31.96] If might makes right the way it's read
[01:34.60] A purpose for which none were bred
[01:37.37] What will our madness justify?
[01:42.73] Decrepit slaughterhouses drowning in the filth
[01:47.26] Of mutilation
[01:50.06] Incarceration
[01:52.71] Disease and pestilence devoured all the same
[01:57.29] Call it ignorance or greed
[01:59.03] Or just a breach in our compassion
[02:02.62] That keeps us drowning in decay
[02:06.27] We've got to reconnect ourselves
[02:08.92] And make it something more than fashion
[02:12.53] Before we burn it all away
[02:15.24]
