Gathering all the waves
To send forth galloping
You dont know what this means to me
Ive heard them say you cant hold on to what is not there
Im manifesting emptiness
They held me down
And said i couldnt speak my part
But everything is different now
Were letting loose the flood gates
And spilling forth the tears for years been held inside
Bodies held by fraying rope
Working to the grave
So we wont have to shield our eyes from the glow.
Huddled over sheets of paper
Trying to piece it all back together now
When its fallen apart
Based on what ive seen thus far
Im not sure what to hope for
Breaking loose from the chains that held us back for all these years
Buzzed into our heads by static droning feeds
Living in a world where nothings right and no one cares
Apathy is instinct in the sea that we all fare.
_______
My ears against the wall
Im listening to whisperings of pure hypocrisy
And through all of this im questioning my sanity
Cause ive been feeling delusions
Fingers prying at the cracks in my four walls.
Illusions of safety is a lie
Theres no net to catch us if we fall
Were on our own.
And we could just carry on with our lives pretending it was something that wed never known.
But we know.
We know weve been lied to, not sure by who
When we find out were gonna have a face to put to the taste
Of the rotten sour air of this place.
A place we were once proud to call our home.
We could just watch it all burn down
Theres alot weve yet to learn.
And the story goes that we would raise again.
