lyrics

Analyrical:
The Energy is U and I
Unify, do or die, who could fly? Well who would try?
Who besides the calibrated, activated, acclimated
Fascinated
The uniformed, so ignored, self-implored, Bored
Check the creeks up in the board
And underneath is what ya see and what you need it for
Meet me in the Center, stir the epicenter
Verbalize the Certain tide and let the wave purify
We burn it at both ends with no extinguisher
Jump out, but without ever seeming sure
So afraid that what we release is pure
So afraid that we can't face what we seek to stir
It breeds immature, but that's the insecure
And that's the inner nerve
That will always be disturbed
And will never be heard
And will dominate the common trait that keeps us so demure
Put yourself out there, walk along the plank
Wants are so innate, but we just want to relate
Try to keep it straight, but our brains they segregate
Try to lift the weight while we holding heavy plates
Too much running and not enough communication
When it's done, no fun, the rudeness gets awakened
For all the judgment and the way that we forsake it
But one impression is enough to keep us so complacent
Keep us so sedated, jaded mentally inebriated
We stop ourselves and always play the deviation
A firm belief in our creation, but a brings me to a statement
What exactly are we making?

We are made for each other
We are all here to help
Without one another
Then we got nobody else
We all need to think
And we all need to dream
Without a love for life
Then we don't mean a thing

Look at us, Look at us
Now we must rise
Look at us, Look at us
Sitting up high
Drink from the well
Til the bucket runs dry
But we make it happen
One trust, one time

Phingaz:
It goes
Too much toast, not enough jam
when the world gets heavy you have a helping hand - understand
You are one being, there is not one man.
Too much reach, not enough sand
when the world falls short you are the helping hand - understand
we are one people there is no one plan.

Analyrical:
We are made for each other
We are all here to help
Without one another
Then we got nobody else
We all need to think
And we all need to dream
Without a love for life
Then we don't mean a thing

Look at us, Look at us
Now we must rise
Look at us, Look at us
Sitting up high
Drink from the well
Til the bucket runs dry
But we make it happen
One trust, one time
