We’re not ready yet for love
So we wait and impersonate
the ways we know –
addictions we won’t seem to break:
Systems to destroy boys
Orders to ruin girls
Gnash and claw at every blessing of this world
Condemning our own
No, we’re not ready yet for love
One sperm and one egg
from any of seven continents
make a third imbalanced –
an engine born in deficit.
Sleight of hand and
counterfeit reflections
that take no time
and make no sense of love
Hear that bell
and run like hell
from love.
Deep in the hearts of men
Deep in the hearts of men
Deepen these hearts
So deep in
Deep in the hearts of men
Deep in the hearts of men
Deepen these hearts
[Break]
Deepen the hearts of men
Deepen these hearts
Species mark the road
to teach machines all we know.
We race against our phones
to solve for love.
Sound the bell
and run like hell
to love.
Are we ready yet,
ready yet
for love?
Deep in the hearts of men
Deep in the hearts of men
Deepen these hearts
Deepen
deep in the hearts of men
Deep in the hearts of men
Deepen these hearts
Deepen
