Choke back those tears my brother, my sister
Don’t show emotion in this cold, cold place
Don’t tip your hand that they’ve gotten to you
Don’t stand apart from this dead human race
Just take a sip of your Starbucks coffee
That will hold back the screams within your soul
At least for a few seconds as you drink
Perhaps, by then, you can regain control
Your emotions are worthless here and now
Only what you do, what you say make you
And, if you do enough for the right friends
You may just survive and just make it through
Keep quiet about your soul and knowledge
Don’t talk about divine conspiracy
Their hearts are hardened so don’t even try
To the secular Christ is heresy
What’s true for you, may just be false for them
It’s arrogant to think you know the truth
Our gods of green can save if we believe
All is relative, there’s no absolutes
I know you feel this fire within you
Burning to ignite Earth with the divine
But, just drink the water of convenience
And that feeling will pass… You’ll be just fine
