Against Our Will Lyrics - Howard Lawrence

It's on my mind 

It's in my bones 

Why can't we just bury the stone? 

We let them tear our world apart 

Makes you wonder what's in our hearts 

We're subdivided 

Losing touch 

This us and them is all too much 

Locked-and-loaded corrupts the soul 

The fighting takes a wicked toll 

This started out with so much promise 

People came to learn our ways 

They crashed the ports and jumped the fences 

Some fought hard to let them stay 

While up on stage the rants grew louder 

Until they couldn't even hear themselves 

We watched them close their eyes in battle 

The thrill of war had cast its spell 

As crowds took sides they crushed the spirit 

Trapped inside a ghost-filled room 

We're stuck again with vexing choices 

Desperate now to crawl back in the womb 

You told me to run like hell that's true 

I lost my bearings without you 

They tied our hands 

We swallowed the pill 

Leaving behind a legacy 

Against our will
