Douglas Ray Jaffe - Measure For Measure Lyrics

What's not destroyed has been remodeled
What's easy to grasp cannot be touched
Everything but truth has been recycled
Those who do not count the dead live in graves of lust
And it's measure for measure with a double punch
When hands we hold are buried in the mud
When tears of what we've done start to flood
Counting the dead is no way to live
Damage comes when we never forgive
And it's measure for measure with a double punch
Can stolen time ever be re-earned
Can we drink the wine once it's been turned
Can peace be taught when it's never been learned
Can what's been burned before once again be burned
And it's measure for measure with a double punch
Who remains rejected, never fit the mold
Who has not stumbled, falling for a fool's gold
How quick a heart that does not bend grows old
Angels and priests, man has now got on hold
And it's measure for measure with a double punch
What's buried below cannot be recognized
What's taken for granted cannot be surprised
Who has not ignored the words of the wise
When you reduce someone's dreams to ashes and rust
It's measure for measure with a double punch
What human on earth does not face fears
What heart cannot be brought to tears
Only what's invisible cannot be moved
What should not exist they want to improve
Broken glass is shining underneath your shoes
When the mighty think they cannot be touched
It's measure for measure with a double punch
