lyrics

Drink the sordid lies
Construct your disguise
Look for the escape

Play along to survive
Just biding your time
It’s the only way

The toxic rules commanding you
Enforce or your life
Fear of retaliation
A cycle of strife

The toxin, dictating that aggression makes us whole
That virtue is a hard an empty soul
The masculine, a stone that never grows
When will we free ourselves of self-inflicted plight,
Learn to be a man is more than just to fight,
Bursting all emotion to the light

Society moulds us and who we are
The systems that hold us in place
The hammer that built is the hammer to crack the wall
Soul of mankind can be saved / Threat of this nightmare erased

The toxin, dictating that aggression makes us whole
...The masculine, a stone that never grows
When will we free ourselves of self-inflicted plight,
Learn to be a man is more than just to fight,
Bursting all emotion to the light

True strength is vulnerability
The stoic know no sadness or joy
Take all the bricks of the modern man
Smashed down to build him up once again
True boldness is kindness and nurturing
Not callousness, cruelty, or rage
True alpha, the hand of the caretaker
This soul of mankind may be saved
Oh, help us to redefine
This meaning of man
We must find the antidote
For masculine toxin
