Terminal

(album: Restless Heart, Keep Running - 2019)

Plagued by indifference and apathy
If we had souls, they've atrophied
It's all too easy to disregard a tragedy
When empathy can't extend past what we see

With eyes focused on the comfort of the norm
We consume and conform

I'm lost in the same condition
A voice in my head, but I don't wanna listen
I'm taking for granted all that I've been given
Just a part of the system

These hearts aren't hardened, merely ignorant
Our nature is to care, but we nurture our differences

Encouraged divisions to hold our attention
Causing dispute keeps the true rift hidden
Rich against poor, slave against master
The only battle that matters

I'm lost in the same condition
A voice in my head, but I don't listen
I'm taking for granted all that I've been given
Just a part of the system

Automation, a mechanism, perpetuating
All that's wrong
Ignorant bliss

Watch in silence, deny the violence
Pile up the money and the guilt that we'll die with
Forget what you think, go watch your TV
No sympathy for anyone who isn't "free"
