[Verse 1]

I'm preaching life

I'm preaching thought

'Cause I see it all around me

As it struggles to unfold

In a world born afraid

[Chorus]

I don't need science, no reason

To calculate what's here inside

No answers won, no questions asked

Will chase this feeling away

[Verse 2]

I know about hate

I've been in love

And I've seen everyone around me

Close their eyes and turn to stone

I've seen hope in disguise

[Chorus]

Well, I'm not trying to save your soul

Don't wanna show direction

Don't wanna take control

I've been a lie

I've told a lie

But I'm trying to get it better each day I try

[Post-Chorus]

Life, shot in the vein

Pumped in the heart

Awaking my soul

Knocked down

Kicked in the face

Shown the easy path is the hardest way down

[Verse 3]

I've drawn one conclusion:

That no one really understands anything

We're all grinding gears

Don't know which way is up

Once the soul is dead, the mind ain't far away

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]

On the steps of my mind

One thousand thoughts decline away
