The Price
Are you really the human kind
To stand up and feel what's hidden behind
The perversion of soul has taken hold
And actuality has left you blind.
Can you feel what's deep within
And peer beneath the charred black skin
And find some meaning not left screaming
When forced to turn away from sin
(Chorus)
Feel the reality, embrace the humanity
Turn from the machine
It leaves you wanting more
Feel the reality, embrace the humanity
Ignore the machine
And consider what's under the door
Is there really another way
Will you remember to find emotions today
And ignore the tech, it seeks no respect
It's the people that have something to say.
Step out into the daylight sun
And cast out the night you have become undone
Put away the device, it comes with a price
You have so much further left to run.
(Chorus)
Feel the reality, embrace the humanity
Turn from the machine
It leaves you wanting more.
Feel the reality, embrace the humanity
Ignore the machine
And consider what's under the door
(Bridge Screamed)
How can you be sure
You have become pure
Cleansed by the cure
Not falling into more
Cleansed by the cure
Don't go back for more
Believe and be sure
You are now true and pure
