'This is an emergency
a test of the broadcasting system.'
i'm speaking to you all in urgency.
i have fallen and i'm not alone
silence was once a friend
Did i cast the first stone?
i don't know, why pretend?
tomorrow might be good for something
but for now..today and yesterday are the same thing
you might not care and give me a dead eyed stare
i wont notice. i'll be blinded by my own tears
i wonder what i'll think after ten, twenty years
maybe i'lll wonder where i went
just like i do now, wonder how time was passed and spent
i'm ashamed of being broken in
lay it down
i cant escape from where i've been.
i've said enough, enough by now.
i'll come wasted
answer the whys first, then i'll ask how.
Please stay calm
Don't crowd the exists
they're locked..I already tried
when did our hearts die?
its all a bold faced lie
and still, still nothing is done
everyday we're getting older that much colder
history is now our fairy tales
we go through the empty motions
didn't you know? apathy is now at record sales
collect shiny junk to temporarly satisfy emotions.
the silence gets us nowhere
the shaking of heads and sad condemning words
means nothing, death is enacted, lives are still stripped bare
i'm not calling for arms, not for raised swords.
there are other ways to fight for rights.
other ways..
Blood wont wash it clean.
don't care? pretty soon we all will.
i want to see change.. but first i have to be what it is i mean.
'Please line up in an orderly fashion
Don't push and shove, everyone will get their dream
but first you need to take our happy pills.'
now i'll start to hear it and see the movie stills.
are their screams not loud enough for me?
are my own screams not enough?
Should I turn this up for you?
don't care to listen?
that's your decision
be remembered among the forgotten.
A head in the sand makes for an easy target.
morality a dying species.. Now 'means to an end' justifies the ill gotten?
'Can we have everyone take their seats please'
'You'll start to feel the effects of the pills shortly, until then, we ask
you to direct your attention to the large screen for a word from our sponsor. Thank you.'
