We are, we are jesus and we are satan We gave them bodies and we gave them faces We are their potter, still making changes We are 10, 000 dead in a war that was won We are the father, spirit, and the smoking gun We are the future that will repeat what we've done We are a mother with a bag over her head And a father in the cold with a drink in his hand We are a divorce that never found its end We are the pill that fell down a throat The silent specter that hides in old homes We are closet monster waiting till the child's alone We are, we are the wind and we are the sand We shift and change till we become one with the land We are the brush in the painters hand We are comic book heroes, the strong and the brave Lost in a world where we're the ones to save the day But with our masks off we have no place to stay We are, we are x's and we are y's We are breast cancer and the clock that tells time We are dust, we are carbon that binds We are, we are love and we are hate We are war, poverty, and rape We are the apple from the tree that eve ate We are heroes with a thousand faces We are the face god, but we made it ourselves It's made of plastic, so please don't ever tell We gave light to heaven, and fire to hell We are, we are lovers in a falling building And the promise of a diamond wedding ring We are artists with only dirt in our hands We are, we are each other and one day we'll find That if love is real, that maybe we're really alive Until the clock finds the end of time This is how it begins and this how it ends Just hold each moment as you pull on the minute hand And think how you are each and everyone you've ever met
