Hold Us Back

You were born with a rational mind
But it has been left behind
Made obedient with false fear
Fold your hands when the end is near
Hold contempt for the unkept
And hatred for what you can't accept
A mind is a terrible thing to waste
And yours is only taking space

You hold us back
You hold...

Your small mind has closed the doors
To things that we can't ignore
A horse to water, but you won't drink
We can save ourselves if you'll only think
Hold us back with what you lack
One step forward, two steps back
You don't know wrong from right
You've only seen with your own sight

You only fear losing control
So you dig us deeper into this hole
It's a struggle to get on track
With your ignorance holding us back
