I've tried to find reconciliation behind the walls of those whose hatred burns.
|
|
For I find it easier to reach someone who still feels,
|
|
Than to make amends with passionless apathy.
|
|
Where all lines are the same a portrait cannot be made.
|
|
|
|
I need to burn inside. I need to know that you are alive.
|
|
|
|
I need to know that feelings of discontent are stronger
|
|
Than indifference for those too weak to stand.
|
|
|
|
Like a colorless sky over a sea of nothingness,
|
|
Hatred faces its enemies while apathy strikes furtively.
|
|
|
|
I need to burn inside. I need to know that you are alive.
|
|
|
|
I need to know that feelings of discontent are stronger
|
|
Than indifference for those too weak to stand.
|
|
I need to know that feelings of discontent are stronger
|
|
Than indifference for those too weak to stand...
|
|
|
|
Until our anger burns against injustice, we will create
|
|
The faceless by dismissing those forced to concede.
|
|
|
|
Many of us have turned off the light outside, erasing what exists beyond our front door.
|
|
And for you I find it harder to reach common ground than my most glaring opposition.
|
|
But what about those who've lost the luxury of choice?
|
|
...striving for identity, buried by our lack of interest, souls marked as mere history.
|
|
How much grievance will it take to awaken us?
|
|
|
|
I need to know that feelings of discontent are stronger
|
|
Than indifference for those too weak to stand.
|
|
I need to know that feelings of discontent are stronger
|
|
Than indifference for those too weak to stand...
|
|
|
|
How much grievance will it take to awaken us from the comfort of our homes?
|
|
...the comfort of our oversized graves.
|
|
|
|
I've tried to find reconciliation... I've tried to find reconciliation...
