Teach Us to Discover - Bret Hesla & Richard Bruxvoort Colligan

If we seek solace in the prisons of the distant past Security in human systems, we're told, will always, always last Emotions are the sail and blind faith is the mast Without a breath of real freedom, we're getting nowhere fast If God is dead and an actor plays his part His words of fear will find their way to a place in your heart Without the voice of reason, every faith is its own curse Without freedom from the past, things can only get worse Sooner or later Sooner or later Sooner or later Sooner or later Sooner or later Sooner or later Sooner or later Sooner or later Our written history is a catalogue of crime The sordid and the powerful, the architects of time The mother of invention, the oppression of the mild The constant fear of scarcity, aggression as its child Sooner or later (sooner or later) Sooner or later (sooner or later) Sooner or later (sooner or later) Sooner or later (sooner or later) Sooner or later (sooner or later) Sooner or later (sooner or later) Sooner or later (sooner or later) Sooner or later Convince an enemy, convince him that he's wrong To win a bloodless battle, where victory is long A simple act of faith, in reason over might To blow up his children, will only prove him right History will teach us nothing Sooner or later, just like the world first day Sooner or later, we learn to throw the past away Sooner or later, just like the world first day Sooner or later, we learn to throw the past away Sooner or later, we learn to throw the past away History will teach us nothing History will teach us nothing Know you human rights, be what you come here for Know your human rights, be what you come here for (sooner or later) Know your human rights, be what you come here for (sooner or later) Know your human rights, be what you come here for (sooner or later) Know your human rights, be what you come here for (sooner or later) Know your human rights, be what you come here for (sooner or later) Know your human rights, be what you come here for (sooner or later) Know your human rights, be what you come here for (sooner or later)

I want you to hurt me But it's all just a shade of the dark, I'm afraid Mourning rain and the one I left behind I want you to hurt me But I don't want to fall in mirage, plastered grey Frowning strength, but your faith is what I find If you teach me to love If you teach me to breathe Oh, I'll paint the beauty for all your needs If you teach me to love I promise you'll be stronger then And I'll burn you with a love that never shades I want you to hurt me I'm a casualty of your touch, a pierced dove All alone with your crimson venting slow I want you to hurt me 'Cause my pain has drifted away, blinking calm But I feel dust of salt from down below If you teach me to love If you teach me to breathe Oh, I'll paint the beauty for all your needs If you teach me to love I promise you'll be stronger then And I'll burn you with a love that never shades Yes, I'll burn you with my love that never shades, yeah If you teach me to love If you teach me to breathe Oh, I'll paint the beauty for all your needs (for all your needs) If you teach me to love (if you teach me to love) I promise you'll be stronger then And I'll burn you with a love that never shades Yes, I'll burn you with my love that never shades
