lyrics

So Much More (Lyrics wriiten by French Manilla in February, 2017)

Tormenting, fomenting troubles
Lamenting, tear drops, stirring up sorrows
Broken down palace, picking up rubbles
Painting pictures, citing scriptures, visions so narrow
Though we have gotten far, we’re still so very far
From the truth of who we are, we still AIN’T raised the bar
Claiming we’re colour-blind, seeing passed colour lines
Yet quick to judge what’s wrong or right
Like everything is black and white
No it’s not that easy, but we must take it easy
Or we might overheat, explode, lose our sanity
Can we please stop assuming, coz that’s the way of the lazy
And at least start questioning, so we may feel the sanctity
Of our very being, can we hear our heart beating?
Some may find it bleeding but there’s always time for healing
Walls are for the weak but they’ll learn to hop over
Learn to shut their mouths, learn to listen and discover

Chorus:
There’s so much more than what you know and even more than what you think you know (4x)

Sedating, zombifying images
Brought to you by these conniving scavengers
Ventriloquists, pulling at your heart strings
Closing your eyes while you’re concurring
Making you blink but you don’t think twice
You don’t get a slice by which you are enticed
Wouldn’t it have been nice, thought that would have sufficed?
But have you been advised on the price?
The price you gotta pay when you’re just nodding okay
Afraid to look away, you stay to your dismay
You’re just a pretty display, just a flavor of the day
Aren’t you worth more? So don’t you delay
To shine your rays, melt the ice that has numbed you
Dare to cop that feeling like you’re brand new
Widen your scope, dig deep for that dope
Eye opener that in everything and everywhere there’s hope

Chorus to outro
