Ego Loss on Grand River Avenue Songtext
von Joe Hertler & The Rainbow Seekers

We are, we are jesus and we are satan
We gave them bodies and we gave them faces
We are their potter, still making changes

We are 10, 000 dead in a war that was won
We are the father, spirit, and the smoking gun
We are the future that will repeat what we′ve done

We are a mother with a bag over her head
And a father in the cold with a drink in his hand
We are a divorce that never found its end

We are the pill that fell down a throat
The silent specter that hides in old homes
We are closet monster waiting till the child's alone

We are, we are the wind and we are the sand
We shift and change till we become one with the land
We are the brush in the painters hand

We are comic book heroes, the strong and the brave
Lost in a world where we′re the ones to save the day
But with our masks off we have no place to stay


We are, we are x's and we are y's
We are breast cancer and the clock that tells time
We are dust, we are carbon that binds

We are, we are love and we are hate
We are war, poverty, and rape
We are the apple from the tree that eve ate

We are heroes with a thousand faces

We are the face god, but we made it ourselves
It′s made of plastic, so please don′t ever tell
We gave light to heaven, and fire to hell

We are, we are lovers in a falling building
And the promise of a diamond wedding ring
We are artists with only dirt in our hands

We are, we are each other and one day we'll find
That if love is real, that maybe we′re really alive
Until the clock finds the end of time

This is how it begins and this how it ends
Just hold each moment as you pull on the minute hand
And think how you are each and everyone you've ever met
