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 have lost the luxury of choice?
(I need to know)
Striving for identity
(That feelings)
Buried by our lack of interest
(Of discontent)
Souls marked as mere history
(Are stronger than)
How much grievance
(Indifference)
I need to know that
Feelings of discontent
Are stronger than indifference
For those too weak to stand
I need to know that
(I need to know)
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 over sized graves
