You can't mix up hope with silver lining,
as they feed, they breed, they drain and smile with

ignorance

it was the veil of lies, tore to pieces
by the will to change, but not the will to react, measured

by the pain,

and the price tag they put on our freedom,
or at least what we define as
liberty

resemblant fears
aiming to seek for answers
with unbowed arrows

grazing the weak
assisting to poison our lives
by gaining consent

if i can become
the spark of a bonfire
let the embers float across the land

no need for saviours
all prayers will fade
while we can work to take back what's ours

instead of changing the world
maybe we should change ourselves

never touch a hand that’s cursed
it only leads to vain

never dare to weigh what’s worse
it’s all what we should have learnt

we forgot to question
while we don’t really care
pretending that we’re steadfast
only to avoid what tomorrow answers
