From the recording Why
Lyrics
Used to scrounge for my life know what I need
Looked out for those things that know I can bleed
Bleed
Can bleed
Strictly head down and eyes ahead
Eyes fixed
Tried to stay hidden and beat the dead
Beat the dead
Want the truth
Want the truth
Want the truth
Want the truth
Truth
Truth
Truth
But the truth hits harder than tooth or claw
Harder
Harder
We rose by a different older law
For we have no sting in our tail
No built in armour to wear
No fangs to defend ourselves
Just fragile skin and the breath we share
We share
We share
No horns to charge, no talons to twist
Just a fist
Yet somehow, we climbed to the top of the list
The top of the list
Not by tearing the world apart
But by binding our voices, head to heart
Voices head to heart
Our voices head to heart
Our voices head to heart
It's the circle we form, not the fight we bring
The fire we tended by our gathering in
Gathering in
The strength of the many
Outlives the lone
Lone
Survival of the fittest
Survival of the fittest
Means never alone
We follow
We follow
We learned to speak, to signal the night
To share the hunt and divide the bite
To lift the fallen and to guard the weak
Guard the weak
Time can wait my heart
Guard the weak
Guard the weak
To build a future the wild could not keep
Could not keep
Used to stay hidden to beat the dead
Now we stay together
And use our hearts and our head
Used to stay hidden to beat the dead
Now we stay together
And use our hearts and our head
Used to stay hidden to beat the dead
Now we stay together
And use our hearts and our head
