Live With This

opening eyes for the first time in years
but don't remember any of the images
only recognize that I've been blind for far too long

grabbing for hands that aren't around
when standing up has no chance
standing for something as confusing as pride

so i leave it in the hands of you to do the right thing now
right and wrong is just a matter of choice
just an icon, a flag and a voice

something simple like popularity
a distinguished list of friends and dinner guests
blackmailed into shaking hands

or maybe an all-out war on the people
will get them thinking like the rest of us
carefully back out of the smoke

so i leave it in the hands of you to do the right thing now
right and wrong is just a matter of choice
just an icon, a flag and a voice

sent down from somewhere above
a message so loud it could only come
from where it all began so dismiss the emotion

how do you feel about the black skies
does it make you wish you were there
to set things right for once

armored umbrellas for the raining bodies
turning heads to the broken children
right and wrong is a luxury

so i leave it in the hands of you to do the right thing now
right and wrong is just a matter of choice
just an icon, a flag and a voice
