Just drifting along with the world
Every motion is paranoid and paralyzing
Give it up
Or give 'em hope
Let us all survive the wake
We, we're a race, a human race
Under the glass behind it all
Watch us crawl, watch us crawl so fearfully
I might be wrong after all, I might be wrong
But weren't we just so delicate yesterday
Sit back and think about it
Sleep it off, sleep on it
Come to, and make your motions
Sit back and think about it
Sleep it off, sleep on it
Come to, and make your motions
Listen up
Listen up
Listen up
There's a calling ahead
A desperation, a falling of man
We are all lost in the sound
Lost in the sound
Lost in the sound of separation
Hands in the air and love at our sides
There's gotta be something bigger
With the beating in our throats
And the tremble in our grip, this can't be it
I'll come up, I'll come up for peace
I'll come down, I'll come down for truth
I'll give in, I'll give up for you
I'll come up, I'll come up for peace
I'll come down, I'll come down for truth
I'll give in, I'll give up for you
I'll give up, I'll give up, I'll give up, I'll give up
The floors are shaking
And we've lost our step
Oh Lord, have mercy
Have mercy on us all
The floors are shaking
And we've lost our step
Oh Lord, have mercy
Have mercy on us all
Oh
Every motion is paranoid and paralyzing
Give it up
Or give 'em hope
Let us all survive the wake
We, we're a race, a human race
Under the glass behind it all
Watch us crawl, watch us crawl so fearfully
I might be wrong after all, I might be wrong
But weren't we just so delicate yesterday
Sit back and think about it
Sleep it off, sleep on it
Come to, and make your motions
Sit back and think about it
Sleep it off, sleep on it
Come to, and make your motions
Listen up
Listen up
Listen up
There's a calling ahead
A desperation, a falling of man
We are all lost in the sound
Lost in the sound
Lost in the sound of separation
Hands in the air and love at our sides
There's gotta be something bigger
With the beating in our throats
And the tremble in our grip, this can't be it
I'll come up, I'll come up for peace
I'll come down, I'll come down for truth
I'll give in, I'll give up for you
I'll come up, I'll come up for peace
I'll come down, I'll come down for truth
I'll give in, I'll give up for you
I'll give up, I'll give up, I'll give up, I'll give up
The floors are shaking
And we've lost our step
Oh Lord, have mercy
Have mercy on us all
The floors are shaking
And we've lost our step
Oh Lord, have mercy
Have mercy on us all
Oh

i also think he's speaking to people who call themselvec 'Christians' (and i hate using that word, cause most christians couldn't be more like Christ) are just going through the motions. every move they make is "paranoid" and "paralyzing" to those around. and its like spencer is shouting at them to give up this fakeness or "give em' hope". we are all the same, there is no better or worse, we are all humans, with demons and fears and foes, we are all lost in the sound of seperation (perhaps a seperation from God). there's gotta be more than going through these motions "theres gotta be something bigger". and maybe its found in peace and truth...
