Living in a time of flight and turmoil
Misplaced, far away from home
We keep locked up in separate corners
Just watch them burn from our safe zone
At self-reflection we but shudder
We blame it on eachother
Not ourselves, just the other
Conflicts of philosophy
Diminished generosity
The fear of loss and death is strong
And all your hope it seems long gone
Tensions growing,
Wheels never slowing,
Ploughing through the masses,
Gonna wipe out all the rivals
We seek the light
But meanwhile look the other way
When history repeats itself
We turn our backs and close our eyes
Inhale
Exhale
Inhale
Exhale
War crimes, civil rights
Massacres and genocide
We keep on breathing
But our souls are turning black and white
Information confiscated to replenish our tranquillity
Nightmares sleepless nights
Shaking hands and bloodshot eyes
Voices lost stories forgotten
Left alone to clear the mess
Liquor, substance turned on lights
Helping to get through the night
Results of all the vanity
In trying to save humanity
Lights go out
A flicker and a shout
Alarm should go off
But nothing sounds
A dream it was, a wake-up call
Time to face the revelation;
"Who are you to fight for power
While the others fight to live?"
Inhale
Exhale
Inhale
Exhale
Inhale
Exhale
