THE PRICE

Are you really the humankind

To stand up and feel what's hidden behind

The perversion of soul has taken hold

And actuality has left you blind. 

Can you feel what's deep within

And peer beneath the charred black skin

And find some meaning not left screaming

When forced to turn away from sin

(Chorus)

Feel the reality, embrace the humanity

Turn from the machine

It leaves you wanting more

Feel the reality, embrace the humanity

Ignore the machine

And consider what's under the door

Is there really another way

Will you remember to find emotions today

And ignore the tech, it seeks no respect

It's the people that have something to say. 

Step out into the daylight sun

And cast out the night you have become undone

Put away the device, it comes with a price

You have so much further to run. 

(Chorus)

Feel the reality, embrace the humanity

Turn from the machine

It leaves you wanting more. 

Feel the reality, embrace the humanity

Ignore the machine

And consider what's under the door

(Bridge Screamed)

How can you be sure

You have become pure

Cleansed by the cure

Not falling into more

Cleansed by the cure

Don't go back for more

Believe and be sure

You are now true and pure
