Retract

Step back retract and gain a little perspective
How do your ideas affect the collective
If this is right then why does violence permeate
Blood lost over an answerless debate

That book seems a little dusty don't you think
Smoke and mirrors, do you get nervous when you blink?

You're holding onto something that isn't there
I don't quite understand that you could be so unaware
You're holding onto something that isn't there
And without it your life would feel so bare

Your mind is closed if it doesn't justify, what you want to hear

How many more will, fall at the mercy of your hands
How many more will change their lives for your demands
