lyrics

Resound the alarm
With nowhere to run
Our world maintains denial
The cloak of generational slaves

No hope on the dawn
The reckoning has come
We wear such bitter smiles
The sun will rise to burn us away

We cannot be saved
We have been betrayed

They tell us only what they want us to believe
Their lies become our lives: “No questioning authority.”
Foundational inequity conceals their greed
Like light shown to the blind, not seeing forests for the trees

Though we are many, we are all alone
Martyrs for a cause affecting nothing for ourselves
Each step taken leads us farther from home
Buying into self-destruction as we die to sell

Out of sight, we are out of our minds
By design, we are pearls before swine

We're swallowed by the water searching for dry land
And when we're coming up for air, they shout, “Again! Again!”
We've pulled the shortest straw against them, just as planned
The aces always up their sleeves; the line drawn in the sand

The road less traveled is privately owned
Post no trespassing to tolerate the human race
Through the eye of the needle we are thrown
Corpses piling high enough to ease our fall from grace

Out of sight, we are out of our minds
By design, we are pearls before swine

Take all we love, we will wither to black
Take all we lost, we can never fight back
Take all our minds, we become maniacs
Take all our souls, we fulfill what they lack

I can read the signs
Pointing to a sky we cannot reach
We are left behind
On this pale blue dot we cease to be

Free! We only need to be free!
But the prison walls are closing in

Free! We only need to be free!
But we cannot break these chains within

Free! We only need to be free!
But we poisoned our own wells for them

Free! We only need to be free!
But the truth behind the lies is we can't win
