The gaze is not about desire, it's a threat
To statues of falsehood that stood forever
and we forget every dream you're scared to chase
swallowed in the rapid pace of day-to-day-to-day
When the world has a virus from the core to the sky
Some try to salvage, some watch it die
I don't want to be a vacuole an empty vessel
Ignorant, in comfort and consolation
In the darkest hearts we have compassion if we choose
An alternate to self importance and filtered news
Should be shaken off our back
Banish the imposing pest
How can I protest?
When the world has a virus from the core to the sky
Some try to salvage, some watch it die
I don't want to be a vacuole an empty vessel
Ignorant, in comfort and consolation
Salvation
Heed the warming of the prophet condemning your course of action
Pinpoint the moment when it all began to come down
