Curse of Empire

Who dares to speak for those who are running out of time? A hand full greedy voices vs millions on the line We drag our boards down to the water's edge Riding plasting waves man made with no regrets Step back The ocean is pulling down our shipwreck There are no excuses Will it make us realize that real lies have consequences But no one to prevent this We are running For shelter and cover From something that was once our lover Can you see the writings on the wall We're hammer and nail Hanging up a painting of our fall So shattered and pale Who dares to claim a race to be the pinnacle of prime That's a conversation thats's not worth my fucking time And there are children hiding down in a basement While we pull triggers on people that the war sent Singing to a symphony those people wrote with toxicity We are running For shelter and cover From something that was once our lover Can you see the writings on the wall We're hammer and nail Hanging up a painting of our fall So shattered and pale And we are victims of our own lifestyle Did you know that butterflies are fragile? Since when is a butterfly fragile? Keep touching if you want a life in exile We are running For shelter and cover From something that was once our lover Can you see the writings on the wall We're hammer and nail Hanging up a painting of our fall So shattered and pale
