[Verse 1]
Truth has failed, equity has fled
Curiosity is in a kind of freeze
Wonder's almost dead
Callous creeps pull you to the pit
Sanctity is sold
Dignity for coal
It's all gone to shit
A scream on every channel
A meanness in the soul
A fever born on wind
Born-again contagion taking hold
[Verse 2]
I saw my girl running across the field
As lost as anyone
She tried to be your sun
I try to be your shield
I sold my soul, now you control a stake
I'm beaten down and hit
I'm crippled and unfit
I'm one of God's own make
You shoot up awake with your hand on the phone
Afraid of what you see
And feeling just like me
Defeated and alone
Do you catch yourself half-proud of being cold?
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Lovе is all around you, though
Love is all around you, though
Love is all around you, though
Didn't you know?
Love is all around you, though
Innеr dark within the outer light
Outer dark inside the inner light
In a light
In a light
In a light
In a light
[Guitar Solo]
