Lyrics

Break down all their values
Create for yourself

Can you overcome?
Can you break the tie that has you bound?
Habituation anchors your thoughts right to the ground
Old ways of thinking - they decay as I watch time progress
But you refuse to lay what? dead to rest

Shackled to the past, your mind denies that conventions never last
They rise and fall like the tides that crash the shore
Closed mind; ignore that which you don? wish to see cease to endure
Reflection fails - kept on a leash
So restrained it doesn? even have the room to breathe
It suffocates

The power that flows from within is yours
The power that grows from within is yours
The power is yours

Harvested culture values set up high for us all to see
Taught not to question all their old and dying ?hould-be?
Your ways of thinking - they fill my heart with such distress
?Ause you refuse to put beliefs to the test

Break down what? devalued

Rise above and break those ties
Drop the anchor and fly up high
Your life is art so paint it bright
And always remember the power is yours
