lyrics

Captive minds
Locked from inside
Swallow the key
Lower the blinds
Tune into static
Turn out the lights
Turn up the tension
Narrow your sight

You put conditions on what can’t be quantified
An inability to see through others’ eyes
Consumed by actions which have zero consequence
React with vicious spite and blind intolerance
Your anger has no virtue
Our differences can’t hurt you
You fight against the gamut of expressions of the planet’s love
From crumbling pedestals
You spew your vitriol
Decrepit rhetoric
From failing vocal cords
Tie the tongues
Dissect the text
Extract the lines
From codices
Selective reading
Flawed fundaments
Twisted translations
Dead testaments

Contempt constructed by your insecurities
Age-old denial of dissimilarities
Obsolete archetypes, expired social roles
Futile attempts to fight that which you can’t control

Your hate is antiquated
Your prejudice outdated
Your logic comes undone
A crime against no one

Immutable, you turn the volume down in vain
A vibrant chorus resonating all the same
Are they your own hidden desires
That cast the blameless in the fire
