It’s a charade
We’re saving face
Turning the other cheek
Broken and bruised, scarred and bloody
Always the same
They built their name
High atop hills of bodies
Apathetic to all the suffering
We all exist on separate wires
Yet we’re tangled together
One day we will retrace these lines
That are keeping us tethered
We all exist on our own wire
Refusing to remember
One day we will embrace these ties
Forcing us to do better
We wait for signs of life
Ignoring the neon in our eyes
Wake up
Consciously
We can
Evoke change
Create
A new day
Together
