about

about this track:
It's about the stories we can make, in light of the fact that the worst in all of us is somewhere in each of us - and the best in each of us can undo the worst in all of us.

lyrics

Everyday we’re in heaven and in hell
Discovering ways to go back and forth at our own will

It’s hard to see a brother sacrificing others to the gods of his own appetites
Harder yet see that all his treachery could easily be found in all the deepest parts of me

(Anybody’s worst is possible in everybody’s heart)

What do you do when your enemy is you?

If we let love do what it does
One day we’ll have stories of what hate was

What do you find when you look inside yourself?
All of the things that you’re trying to change in someone else?

It’s hard be a witness to the same malicious thing, I know he does this all the time
Using his excuses, getting his forgiveness, doing what what he wishes, fooling others with his lies

(All of what I see, is somewhere there inside of me)

What do you do when the villain’s just like you?

If we let grace do what it does
One day we’ll have stories of what pride was

Seems to me like all that’s wrong, the things we go along with are the things we carry on
Time to break the cycle, waking up is vital, we need a new revival of the mind and soul and heart

(Everybody’s worst concedes to anybody’s best)

What will you do, since the change must start with you?

If we let love do what it does
Right now, we’ll make stories that can save us
