They Tell Us

[Verse 1] They tell us that emotion is the center of our lives They tell us that feeling leads the way They tell us that it's wonderful and bad at the same time They tell us we're nothing without pain [Verse 2] They tell us "you'll never understand It's something spiritual" They tell us it's sad that we don't know They tell us "come closer Look around We'll show you Guide you through" They tell us "we'll let go of you won't you?" [Chorus] Got some shady intentions That's clear We'll be Oh We'll be fine My dear Yes I'm scared With you I'm never sure Once I start to feel I'm not in control anymore [Verse 3] I tell you "please point me a black field I'll lay and sleep Get rid of all my fear Real life's never as it appears Once I start to feel" [Chorus] They tell us that emotion is the center of our lives They tell us that feeling leads the way They tell us that it's wonderful and bad at the same time They tell us we're nothing without pain
