[Verse 1] Raised from rock bottom, With ramen in the bowl, No power, no problem, Got candles, got a glow. Survive not thrive, Thunder in our bellies, Life's harsh lessons, Generational naivety. [Chorus] CLEAVE! (Who, shattered, are we?) CLEAVE! (What families are torn?) CLEAVE! (When poverty that leads,) Where anger, rage - born! So, how... How do we live (cloven...) Why do we work (cloven...) How do we hate (cloven...) Why do we hurt? [Verse 2] Familial dysfunction, Violence provoked, Substance consumption, Broken we cope. Raised in screams. Raised by streets. What chance do we got, At living in peace? [Instrumental: Primal, Guitar Lead] [Chorus] CLEAVE! (Who, shattered, are we?) CLEAVE! (What families are torn?) CLEAVE! (When poverty that leads,) Where anger, rage - born! So, why... Why do we live (cloven...) How do we work (cloven...) Why do we hate (cloven...) Why do we hurt? [Verse 3] Society broken. Poverty pandemic. Working for nothing, Wealthy and wicked. Education indoctrination, Broken nation cultivation, Hatred making conversation, Skewing our beliefs. [Bridge] From the hole (we climb) We try to climb (and hold) Darkness holds (and is pulling) Pulls our minds (with crushing) Crushing heels (towering) Towering above (to stomp) Stomp the wills... That dare to climb up! [Chorus] CLEAVE! (Who, shattered, are we?) CLEAVE! (What families are torn?) CLEAVE! (When poverty that leads,) Where anger, rage - born! So, why... Why do we live (cloven...) Why do we work (cloven...) Why do we hate (cloven...) Why do we hurt? [Final Chorus] CLEAVE! (Who, shattered, are we?) CLEAVE! (What families are torn?) CLEAVE! (When poverty that leads,) Where anger, rage - born! So, how... How do we live (cloven...) How do we work (cloven...) How do we hate (cloven...) How do we hurt...more
