Force of Nature

Returned to them what was always theirs You took the flak then copped the sideways stares Returned to them what was theirs to name Without the guilt, without the grief, the shame It helped me believe in something Beyond a wide, gaping nothing Right there in the soul of the machine It made me feel so ballistic A human not a statistic Was asking the bureaucrat to dream Heard you say it's like a force of nature They will come to hate you when it starts Turn the page as time it's got to change ya Just say no to failure in dead hearts I took a call from a friend today Another funeral bill they just won't pay Another "no" to fighting on Against the walls that block you on your way I want to believe in something Beyond a wipe gaping nothing That doggedly eats away your soul I'd help you believe in something It may be the hand of someone Who's pulling you out of that dark hole That dark hole Heard you say it's like a force of nature They may come to hate you when it starts Turn the page as they will rearrange you Maybe tear you, life and limb apart You helped me believe in something Beyond a wipe, gaping nothing I stare into daily at my screen You made me feel so ballistic You're human, not a statistic The future's not dire as it seems Heard you say it's like a force of nature They will come to hate you when it starts Turn the page as time it's got to change ya Just say no to failure in dead hearts
