Like a bird above a flooded land, we circle eternally We try to find a single strand of humanity in the human condition Stuck in this looping regression, nothing short of obsession We're addicted to the pain, we love our chains I want it to end, an escape from the descent The endless descent The plains are high on fire But I'll sit back and admire how composed you remain, all throughout it stays the same But no, it doesn't feel the same Now that we're this way Emphatic hatred will be all that remains When they get their day As words wrap themselves in a damning silence I give up on myself and accept their violence No it's not about me, nor him or he, it's what comes about in unity I couldn't even fathom what it meant to me to reconcile with infinity I thought all these thoughts were all I was ever to be That there wasn't more left to find right inside No signs from heaven came today so I subjected myself to an object of hate Not a second to think, nor a chance to abate, oh I've been washing away The light that guided me, now wilted and decayed As words wrap themselves in a damning silence I gave up on myself and accepted their violence I forgot who I was, I forgot what it meant to be How many times must I right this wrong? I sing as if this is a joyous song Say their names, speak aloud, don't forget, don't ever relent
