Tensions grinding against the skin of man We take no time to hear or understand Lights around you but your eyes stay shut Held down but we are coming up Live with empathy and you will find some peace of mind Ropes and chains leave bruises so we have to avoid the ties I don't give a shit what we've seen We can't trust the words that come out our screens Why are we glued to our minds? A new contradiction in every line You're removing history I don't trust the media coverage Disagree respectfully Times Square shows its bones I feel we've been here It's the same deluded fucking cycle We can't continue beating the same horse Who's really the virus The pandemic or the people? Check your privilege before talking more Live with empathy and you will find some peace of mind Ropes and chains leave bruises so we have to avoid the ties I don't give a shit what we've seen We can't trust the words that come out our screens Why are we glued to our minds? A new contradiction in every line Tell me we will be spared Unplug the lights of Times Square As we take one step forward We take a bigger back The LEDs on all the screens Will show nothing but black Watching it all from the front row! Witnessing villains take high roads! (No justice, No peace)
