When life hands you lemons...make orange juice. Then leave 'em all wondering how you did it


Feels like I’m lookin’ at this world
Through bent and marbled glass
Everything’s so clear
But it doesn’t seem to last
Seems like everything in our futures
Revolves around our pasts
And whenever we move forward
We end up moving back.

I know that it is crazy
This twisted way we live
And I know that what we take
Ain’t half as good as what we give
But I can’t shake this feeling
We’re losing what is right
And that anything we do
Just ain’t worth the fight

Our heads are spinning
out of control
Our heart beats loud, unsure
We can’t understand
the simplest of things
But we have to know
that we’re wrong here
Is it that difficult
to perceive, that
War and Anger only lead
To a world of misery

It’s our human nature
To look and never see
Mute as a mute can be
Never meant to speak
Cruel is in our every move
It’s imprinted in our being
Nothing we can run from
Nothing we can flee
Our heads are spinning
out of control
Our heart beats loud, unsure
We can’t understand
the simplest of things
But we have to know
that we’re wrong here
Is it that difficult to perceive,that
War and Anger only lead
To a world of misery.

I don’t know how to get through
To you that this cannot go on
That no matter how much we bleed
We’ll never find, never learn
How this world works
What we’re here for
What we need most…

And my head is spinning
My heart’s unsure
I can’t understand
the simplest of things
But I have enough soul in me
To see that we are wrong
Is it that difficult to perceive, that War and Anger only lead
To a world of misery
