In the chaos we dream of peace
So why do we only listen when the wicked preach?
The serpents speak their truth
And go unharmed
Their tainted ways are adopted by us all
But the keepers of the hopeful thoughts
Are contained within our narrow walls
Do we deserve to find
A way back from this path we've made
Shallowness and indifference have become
Our second nature
So vain and self-absorbed
Devoid of purpose
Do we even care about
What's underneath the surface?
Do we deserve to find
A way back from this path we've made
Shallowness and indifference have become
Our second nature
How can we find a place within
A world so cold and unforgiving?
We find solace in distractions
But does it make our lives worth living?
Will we ever find
A way to try and right our wrongs?
What have we become?
(What have we become?)
What have we become?
Woah-oh-oh
Do we deserve to find
A way back from this path we've made
Shallowness and indifference have become
Our second nature
