about

This song is about the difference between being loved and being idolized. This song is about the origins of man. This song is about questioning the powers that be. This song is about being human. -Jesse

lyrics

/Man looks up at the clouds and thinks about how he's dressed/Says, "Why do I care if you're all impressed?"/He looks to his dear/She's covered in sky/The question she ask, "Why?"/Apes in suits crack their whips on the backs of the mammals they oppress and Line their cages with resumes/Apes in suits pull the reins of lesser men covered in chains/Does this sentiment resonate?/Been runnin' strong six billion years why the sudden need to walk upright?/Been runnin' strong one million years why the sudden need for cogs and gears?/Been runnin' strong ten thousand years why the sudden need for a god and his fears?/Been runnin strong, been runnin'/Oh my dear, I hear you've been asking about the shape of my spine/I hear it's as if the wind has just been calling name/Oh my dear, I hear you didn't know that we crawled from the sea/I see where you've been building a monument to me/Oh my dear, watch as these answers fall from the trees/Oh my dear, watch as more questions wash up from the sea/Oh my dear, you look like a statue but life is no stone/It's a body that's withering/Withering all away/
