about

The politics of the state mirror the politics of the heart.

lyrics

The night is drawing nigh
With violence on the cell phone screen
The tyrants flaunt their might
And prey upon the ones unseen

Cause man seeks the highest office
To find that there's never enough
The temples and shrines of our progress
Were built upon backs of the ones we say we love

Parading through our days
Comforted within our means
We trade our time for things
Scratch the itch and then repeat

Chorus

When the bough breaks and castles falls
Those sinking stones - who built them all?
When the king slips from a throne so tall
Those stones cry out, “Who built them all?”

Cause man seeks the highest office
To find that there's never enough
