In this world where nothing is sacred
What have we done? We often ask
To deserve our grim fate
Where our lives are laid out to waste
Did we allow this? We wonder
To be forever pushed under
We burn ourselves at the stake
Enable, encourage
We let our demons in
To our very own backyards
Where we bury our sins
Enable, encourage
We’ve sold our lives out
By turning a blind eye
To this convenience’s cost
Enable, encourage
We keep eating that shit
Forced down our throats
While slaving comfortably
Enable, encourage
We obey till we die
While we fight for those bones
Thrown at us to survive on
Because in this world nothing is sacred
Why would our lives be?
Were we the ones to sign our fate?
By turning our heads the other way
Those broken mirrors conceal our shame
Were we the ones who gave this up?
Living in denial, in refusal
So proud to be ‘free’, while born a slave |
