Lyrics
The gap just gets bigger
The divide between people is widening.
Yet another trigger
Another event causing a reaction or response.
All alone in a sea of doubt
Feeling isolated and uncertain.
What's all this fighting about
Questioning the purpose of ongoing conflicts.
Pockets zip lined to acres
Success reflected in significant financial gains.
Made it now, they're no fakers
Achievers are genuine, not pretenders.
In front of your eyes, hard to believe
Something unbelievable happening before one's eyes.
I'm so worried now i can't breathe
Anxiety preventing normal breathing due to worry.
We tread the path to ascent
Embarking on a journey of progress.
We tow the line that we consent
Adhering to accepted norms and rules.
We accept it all
Choosing to embrace everything.
We accept the fall
Embracing failure as part of the journey.
You take what little we have left
Others taking away what little is left.
You work us down to our last breath
Exploitation leading to exhaustion.
We accept it all
Acceptance of all consequences.
We accept the call
Acceptance of the inevitable calling.
I scream these words of silence
Expressing silent pain and frustration.
Through bursts of internal violence
Releasing internal turmoil through words.
If only i knew sign language
Regret for not understanding unspoken signals.
Only sound i hear is anguish
Overwhelming sounds of distress.
Empires aren't built by cynics
Empires aren't built by pessimists; acknowledging the reality.
Look around, we're living in it
Observing and existing within the current societal structure.
Glass cracked with blue stones
Metaphor for the fragility of societal foundations.
Thrown so hard they break our bones
External forces causing harm and pain.
We tread the path to ascent
Reiteration of the journey toward progress.
We tow the line that we consent
Continuing to follow established guidelines.
We accept it all
Full acceptance of all circumstances.
We accept the fall
Embracing the consequences of failure.
You take what little we have left
Enduring the loss of what little remains.
You work us down to our last breath
Persistent exploitation leading to exhaustion.
We accept it all
Acceptance of the entirety of the situation.
We accept the call
Accepting the inevitable call to action.
They say empires aren't built by cynics
Reiteration that cynicism doesn't build empires.
But look around, we're living in it
Despite cynicism, living in the constructed empire.
How can they believe in anything
Raising doubt about the belief in anything.
Whilst the world suffers tragedy
Reflecting on global suffering and questioning beliefs.
Tragedy after tragedy
Continued reference to ongoing tragedies.
How can they believe in anything
Challenging faith in anything amidst suffering.
We tread the path to ascent
Repetition of the journey towards progress.
We tow the line that we consent
Continued adherence to accepted norms.
We accept it all
Acceptance of all consequences, including failure.
We accept the fall
Embracing the fall and its repercussions.
You take what little we have left
Loss of the little that remains due to external forces.
You work us down to our last breath
Continuous exploitation leading to the last breath.
We accept it all
Full acceptance of the entire situation.
We accept the call
Acceptance of the inevitable call to action.
