The Violence
[Verse 1]Dancing on the crumbling precipiceThe rocks are coming loose just at the edgeAre we laughing? Are we crying?Are we drowning? Are we dead?Or was it all a dream?
The bombs are getting closer everyday'That can never happen here,' we used to sayHave these wars come to our doorstep?Has this moment finally come?Or was it all a dream?
[Chorus]Are we not good enough? Are we not brave enough?Is the violence in our nature just the image of our maker?Are we not good enough? Are we not brave enough?To become something greaterThan the violence in our nature?Are we not good enough or was it all a dream?
[Verse 2]To a pretty time and fate are we condemnedOr maybe we're a book without an endWe're not stories, we're not actorsWe're awake and in controlAnd this is not a dream
So can we break this moldAnd set in motion something newForgetting what we knowAn evolution overdueFight the currentPull the ripcordGet away!
[Chorus]Are we not good enough? Are we not brave enough?Is the violence in our nature just the image of our maker?Are we not good enough? Are we not brave enough?To become something greaterThan the violence in our nature?Are we not good, good enough?
[Bridge]We travel backTo what we takeWe need a stormLet's pray for rain nowTo wash these roads awayLet's get off track and wander farSame roads reducing destinationsDo nothing but show our heartWe're talking in our sleepAnd sleeping through our livesWe dream of the places where we never dieWe step from our shadowsAnd into the light
[Chorus]Are we not good enough? Are we not brave enough?Is the violence in our nature just the image of our maker?Are we not good enough? Are we not brave enough?To become something greaterThan the violence in our nature?Are we not good enough?Are we not brave enough?Are we not good, good enough?Or was it all a dream?
