Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They'll laugh as they watch us fall
The lucky don't care at all
No chance for fate
It's unnatural selection
I want the truth
[Verse 2]
And I'm hungry for some unrest
I wanna push it beyond a peaceful protest
I wanna speak in a language that they'll understand
Dedication to a new age
Is this the end of destruction and rampage?
Another chance to erase it then repeat it again
[Verse 3]
Counter balance this commotion
We're not droplets in the ocean
Ocean
[Verse 4]
They'll laugh as they watch us fall
The lucky don't care at all
No chance for fate
It's unnatural selection
I want the truth
[Verse 5]
No religion or mind virus
Is there a hope that the facts will ever find us?
Just make sure that you are lookin' out for number one
But I am hungry for some unrest
Let's push it beyond a peaceful protest
I wanna speak in a language that you'll understand
[Verse 6]
Counterbalance this commotion
We're not droplets in the ocean
Ocean
[Verse 7]
They'll laugh as they watch us crawl
The lucky don't share at all
No hope for fate
It's a random chance selection
I want the truth
[Verse 8]
Try to ride out the storm
Whilst they'll make you believe
They are the special ones
(We have not been chosen)
[Verse 9]
Injustice is the norm
You won't be the first
And you know you won't be the last
[Verse 10]
Counterbalance this commotion
We're not droplets in the ocean
Ocean
Ocean
Ocean
[Verse 11]
They'll laugh as they watch us fall
And the lucky, they don't care at all
No chance for fate
It's unnatural selection
I want the truth
I want the truth
I want the truth
I want the truth
