Making Circles

Making circles in the dark to find we’re clouded We’re lost No use counting on the stars to guide us over it This constant motion Bright minds resigned to silence, I’m done living through this lens Given the light of solace is all I have By waking up, are we starting over? We’re building our defense to avoid making our amends We’re kneeling to the forces that made us powerless We move on and forget Is it possible to not be swept into violence? Why is it just so hard to fight it? They’ll turn this on its head They’ll say you’re one of the sheep, placated and on display To blood-soaked lies under a branded cross Remiss to think that I’d be fixated on what you think, you’re in my way Temporary lies told by temporary kings If you think that you’re beside yourself, you’re already ahead By waking up, are we starting over? Rebuilding our defense to avoid making our amends We’re kneeling to the forces that made us powerless We move on and forget Is it possible to not be swept into violence? Why is it just so hard to fight it? Through all the problems and all the pain When all the answers are all the same, we move on and just forget Through all the problems and all the pain When all the answers are all the same, we move on If we could choose to just believe we hold nothing for ourselves Then we could live our lives like one disillusioned with above Or we could rot inside our shells, too scared to face the truth: We are slaves to our own laws… So much for the Fist of God Now that you’re gone, I’m questioning everything But I’m convinced of this: you were in my way You were in my way
