Cognitive Dissonance - Where the doubt takes us anyway

So you think that we think what you think
And we see what you see that you see
And you tell us you are right
And that we must stand and unite

We move and then we hurt, yet we continue
But we hurt and then we move without realising
And we lurch without grace from place to place
Where the doubt takes us anyway

Powerless to be still
The fear drives us near
To the distraction of fragmented minds and souls
Where the doubt takes us anyway

Memories are a shadow of flight
The nervous energy distorts the light
Ignorance pervades like a disease
Where the doubt takes us anyway

When emotions get tangled with fact
Where facts get mixed with lies and fiction
And people confuse selflessness with self-righteousness
Where the doubt takes us anyway
