lyrics

The world is a scary place, when you're looking through a window
and if time is just a construct, then this feels like forever

Disappointment floods my mind with doubt
Is this all part of the contract that I didn't sign?
Motivation makes it hard to lift my head
From all the weight I place on sharp pencils and paper
What I see through your eyes is just a reflection
The separation between fact and feeling

Nature takes another breath as pollution fills our lungs
Muffled screaming through the floorboards
Are they yours or are they mine?

Dissolution fills my glass with conflicted thoughts
Is this all part of the contract that I didn't sign?
Insomnia makes it hard to rest my head
From all the weight I place on sharp pencils and paper
What I see through your eyes is just a reflection

We live in a time when silence is killing innocent people
Oppression and violence against marginalized groups have existed well throughout our history
Often being ignored and silenced
Now is the time to take a stand against injustice and use our voices to spread love
This is bigger than me and you
This is the future of humanity
And through action, we can guarantee a future for everyone

What I see through your eyes is just a reflection
What I see through mine is a loss of control
With only my desperation, I'll fight for what I have left
There's a separation between fact and feeling
