From Deep Within Something Less Than Human Lyrics

Piece-by-piece, we're falling apart
on account of a bloodlust we can't sate:
Lives are lost and wars are fought in the name of something we can't articulate.
I think I know what's in store;
I'm afraid to say this story's getting old.
I wonder what we're fighting for,
but each time I ask I'm always told :

It's here in black and white,
sprawled between the lines of the pages tattered and torn -
crumpled from every time they've been shoved out of sight
each time someone's entered the room.

The ink running from every tear cried while reading through the words each time.
Tell me, is this what we're fighting for?
The right to say, "Our s___ stinks better than yours"?
How petty. How drab. How pointless.
How completely and utterly useless.
So don't expect me to follow you.
I'm sick of following these people
who see in black and white,
in "their way versus mine."
There are a million shattered hearts here,
and that's where the truth lies.
Behind the headlines, behind the corporate ties
and payouts, behind the censored stats
presented as facts for the cog-turning mass,
there is just a plain and harsh coldness
where we all regress into something less than human.

And no one can fix it.
No one can change it,
yet we all accept it.

It's here in black and white,
sprawled between the lines
of the pages tattered and torn -
crumpled from every time
they've been shoved out of sight
each time someone's entered the room

I can see I'm wasting my time here.
Clearly, none of this is getting through.
A million people immersed in fear,
and this is the best that you could do?

This?
I think it's time to let it go.
Let it go.
