Inches from Life

MxPx

There's something wrong inside of us 
It's important to discuss 
A narrow mind a hardened heart 
And this is just the very start 

Frustration gets the best of me 
So I dont speak coherently 
We are are taught to go along 
We need to figure out it might be wrong 

You oughta know you can be inches from life 
And never live at all 
You oughta know that our pride is our downfall 
There's no need to stand up tall 

No one knows what's going on 
Even those who cause oppression 
Most of which dont realize 
Uneasy smiles and blackened eyes 

Could it be there's something real 
Not always known but you can feel 
The presence of an absolute 
That our lives cant substutute
