Harkening Back

Meet the mirror. This is who we are You can't re-write history, or erase our scars To admit our transgressions, can be one bitter pill But the future, it ain't ours to kill Harkening, harkening back To an era that we buried in the past Back when darkness decided destinies You were less loved before you even breathed You were left out and locked out of a dream Harkening, harkening back Harkening, harkening back Meet the moment. Let's address the wound Otherwise it will fester, until we're all consumed To reflect on our missteps, is a chance for us to learn Have the lessons been lost, with all the books that you burned? Harkening, harkening back To an era that we buried in the past Back when darkness decided destinies You were less loved before you even breathed Don't you see that all these riots in the streets Are harkening, harkening back Harkening, harkening back Harkening, harkening back Harkening, harkening, harkening, harkening Harkening, harkening back
