There is a void inside of us
An empty spot where our soul used to be
Listening to the echoing emptiness we go crazy
That's why we try desperately to get rid of it
Hold in, take a breath and ask yourself what we are
We are privileged victims
Rich but worthless
Fat but hungry
Entertained but bored
Strong but powerless
Creating but dead
Connected but lonely
We know everything but understand nothing
We admire inane artifacts but are blind to the miracle that is life itself
Blind to the human being in front of us
The obscenity of our world hits me with the brutality of a freight train
Shows me the discord of our existence with unhidden clarity
It's all a Big Laugh Tragedy
Too sad to laugh, too ironic to cry
We poison the soil while people are starving
We destroy thousand-year-old cultures in the name of diversity
No roots, no future
Our roots dry in the sun, ripped out as a victim to progress
All of this makes it hard to hold on to hope
Feeds the need in me to close my eyes and be silent forever
No healing, no compassion, no god damned nothing
I am alone by myself praying to a god I can't believe even exists
I pray to a god I can't believe even exists
