Tryin’ to find some inner peaceI’m tryin’ to find some inner peace.
Apocalyptic tendenciesI’ve got these apocalyptic tendencies.
We blame it on a whisperWe’re blamin’ it on a whisper,
For the shame that’s in our systemfor the shame that’s in our system.
Pain in all our yesterdaysThere’s pain in all our yesterdays,
And fears that keep us wide awakeand fears that keep us wide awake.
We’re looking for a reasonWe’re lookin’ for a reason,
When did we become the heathenswhen did we become the heathens?
My colors bleedMy colors bleed,
I’m turning blueI’m turnin’ blue.

Let our souls become the magnetslet our souls become the magnets.
