First single from upcoming full length album!

lyrics

Run and hide from the systems we created
In time, can this darkness turn to light?
Why didnʼt we listen to the cautionary tales
Itʼs all laid behind us telling us weʼll fail
We march on with a partisan retrospective of our pasts
Inclined to change ourselves for the mass
Itʼs more than we can take
Medicated and sedated, what a mess weʼve made
Suffering cataclysms of our own design
Inherited the earth but all we are is swine
Rolling in the mud to ease the heat from pretending we are gods
With the inability to recognize our faults
Burying our p*an in hate until all we see is red
Ripping us apart until all thatʼs left is dead
Will we see the sky again?
Is it more than we can take?
Separated, guaranteed to love lies we make
Drowning in the chaos that we leave behind
We are burying ourselves by the grace of pigs on high
Sitting on their thrones, breaking all our bones
Until we bleed for their “woes”
Why canʼt we seem to take our fate into our own hands?
We donʼt have to fail
And yet we march on with this same tired view
Conformity is for the weak, its time has passed
We canʼt run from the systems we created
Itʼs time to turn the darkness into light
