"React, Respond" lyrics

I see you worried and hurried
As if addressing the jury
Oh, you are innocent
'Til proven innocent
You are hurting and it's so magnificent

Don't let the sky hook
Beat you to submission
Maybe it's the price of
Price of our admission

Ain't no fucking roses
To our condition
Turn this anger into nuclear fission, yeah, baby, baby

Don't react, respond
Don't react, respond
When what you get is what you don't want
Don't react, respond

Are we at war with each other?
Are you at war with yourself?
We could be fighting together
Instead of fighting ourselves

Start the rebuttal
All part of the game
Yes, what makes us different
And what makes us the same

Ah, the incandescence that is your essence
The unexpected embrace
Embrace the unexpected

There's no book on this life
There's no use as directed
The best part I know
Was when we were connected

Don't react, respond
Don't react, respond
When what you get is what you don't want
Don't react

As the light gets brighter
As it grows
The darkness, it recedes
It's better to give
Give than to deceive
Questions dissolve
The more you believe, ah

Don't react, respond
Don't react, respond
When you get what you don't want
Don't react, respond

Don't react, respond
Don't react, respond
When you get what you don't want
Don't react, respond
