Empty Streets/How Long
13:24

Stuck inside these walls
Tucked away behind these locked doors
It seems so easy
Just to shut it out, just to shut it in
But people start going crazy
They're crawling up the walls and out their skin
Cuz when you take it all away
What do you really have in the end?
Stay Safe and Do Your Part
Even if there's secrets in the heart
It doesn't seem all so bad
Just to wait at home just like this was a fad
We're told to be connect through a screen
Feeling this could be just all a dream
And when you look inside and look within
There's that emptiness that once was shared with kin
But now the Streets are Empty like our hearts
The way it has been, the way it has been
And our hearts are Empty like the Streets
But now we see it, now we see it.
Hanging onto the past
Of what you knew and now you watch it burn
Things have flipped so fast
It's gone beyond the point of no return
How do we get back
How do we live without a pack
Could this all be real
How disconnected our hearts have truly been
And now the Streets are Empty like our hearts
The way it has been, the way it has been
And our hearts are Empty like the Streets
But now we see it, now we see it
And hearts are Empty like the Streets
And it's been going on and on for ages
And the Streets are Empty like our hearts
But now we see it, now we see it
(Musical Odyssey ensues)
Watch the divide
As it grows inside
You can feel the fear
Bringing up the rear
Wherever this all goes
People rushing in droves
To find the safety
While breaking up community
Are these proposed solutions
Brought by big institutions
Worth the alienation
Or dehumanization
The only certain thing
Is death and what it brings
When did we ever forget
Living's not fear and regret
How long we gonna live in fear
How long we gonna live in fear

Back To the Middle

Sometimes feels like you're on the wrong side
Other days feels like you're on the right
Most times we be coming from our headgames
Tell me, where's the heart in this
Oh, can we come back to the middle now
Can we come back to our hearts
And where is the light in what you're saying
And how do we come from love
Can we come to a middle now
Can we come to a middle ground
Can we come to middle now
Can we come to a middle ground
Out to the streets to make the real change
Without looking to your house
What about your family and community
Or have you really tried for all that
Proving your worth in what you're saying
It feels like you're making that change
But nothing has changed anyone else
Besides the true nature of love
Can we come to a middle now
Can we come to a middle ground
Can we come to middle now
Can we come to a middle ground
When you keep pushing those slogans
You never really hit on the mark
Cuz it's clear that you're only trying to change minds
Without even trying to understand mine
I can see what you're doing
And it's only creating that divide
Cuz there's lots of good people trying to help out
That are only being pushed out
Can we come back
Can we come back
Right now, feels like the world is crazy
Cuz no one feels like they can talk
Trying to fix the things we cant fix
While trying to make us think we all care
Well, don't you think we are being led down
A path that there is no return
Where the victims become the abusers
While claiming that they're in the right
Can we come to a middle now
Can we come to a middle ground
Can we come to middle now
Can we come to a middle ground
Can we come from love
Can we come from love
Can we come from love

Good Person

Sometimes you think you know somebody
But it's turns out, you really don't know
All these People walking around with their noses in the air
With nothing to show
Never wanna speak outta turn
Or do what their hearts yearn
In their eyes it burns
But always wanna be so polite
So they can feel they're right
But in the end they lose sight
But you're so Nice
So you're a good person
You're so nice
It's almost like you've been rehearsing
You're so nice
It looks so true
You're so nice
Now you're everybody's fool
Cuz way down inside
You got that darkness that you just wanna hide
Deep down in your soul
It looks so black and oh so cold
Why is it so obvious to me, I'm no expert
But it does, it really does show
It's gotta get in the way of what you really wanna say
So tell me how you grow
Never in your life have you dreamed of looking bad
Your fear of getting made is making you sad
You'd think by now you'd figure to live loud
And take your sins right on the chin
But you're so nice
So you're a good person
But you're so nice
It's like you been rehearsing
You're so nice
And always so sorry
You're so nice
Won't you please excuse me
Cuz way down inside
You got that darkness that you just wanna hide
Deep down in your soul
It looks so black and oh so cold
(X2)
When you gonna tell the truth and just show me who you are
What's gonna really happen if you just shine like that Star
Maybe you'll get a let down cuz you're not as good as you thought
But then again, it could be that you're even better than you've been taught
So let it go
Let it all show
Come and let it grow
So much to know
So let it go
Let it all show
Let it grow
So much to know
Come on let it go
Come on let yourself grow
(repeated)
