Silent Planet - XX (City Grave) Lyrics
This injustice renders my thoughts ineffectual.Forgive me, Lover, and forget my sullen face.Privilege brings us to this place of human currencies.(We) buried our sisters in a glass display,Only to evaporate to a toxic skyline-Underneath we sell off the bodies.My body became a graveyard where they buried thirsty souls.Show me your righteous leader;I'll show you the bullet holes.The preacher with the parched tongueAnd the "God" that he controls:"Shake off the sin! Shake off the sin!"And spit out your cacophony of lies.I'll climb through your screen and bleed out the image you left in me.But God, are you a man?Then how do you see me?From where you sit up in heaven looking down on my hellMy body chokes back."I have nothing to draw withAnd the well is deep-Where can I get living water?"Enslaved in the "Land of the Free"-My prison is our wedding bed where you left me for dead.You'll leave us for dead.Apathy was our anchor to a digital seaWhere you drown in the comfort of our complicity.Can Love save me?Will your wrath avenge us?
