Things can change

In the pouring rain

From the shadows

See it towering

Half the light

Can fade away

Face your shadow

Then you follow it

You follow it

You follow it

Half the light

Can fade away

Face your shadow

Then you follow it

They teach you to heed the word of a god who has never spoken

To fear breaking the law when it's already broken

That to feel is to be weak, to suppress emotion

So no one sees you had a heart 'till your chest is open

They got you hating who you are, to sell you pills and fiction

Reachin' for the stars when you were born up there with 'em

Addicted to the news, views, superstitions

To keep the visionaries glued to their televisions

They want you busy stepping to the right side of history

To keep you from the inside of history

Give everyone a voice

But leash 'em wit the mic cord

Feed you things to fight about

Instead of things to fight for

Teach you everything you want

But nothing you need

That everything's got a price

And nothing is free

They'll turn everything to nothing

Then make you believe

That everything is under control

And there's nothing to see

No more lessons please

Take me back to zero

No more teachers, no more prophets, no more heroes

No more lessons please

Now I see, the question to all answers

Will only bring me to my knees

And back to zero
