lyrics

couldn’t hear it – couldn’t see it
a refusal to believe it
you reacted as though it was for you
did it please you to respond to our requests with threats of death (and) social tests that others may follow through
close your eyes and close your minds your tongues are all serrated knives
how did it ever come to this
how did we become so remiss
your power comes from the censorship we allow you to exploit
couldn’t choose to just ignore you
anti-intellectual school
new edition – old submission – bits to chew
the intention – pure invention – saying all we need is ascension from the chaos to hierarchies you could prove
close your eyes and close your minds your tongues are all serrated knives
how did it ever come to this
how did we become so remiss
your power comes from the censorship we allow you to exploit
it’s in fashion – be impassioned
say we weaponized compassion
it’s alarming how disarming it can be
when you listen to ‘pay contrition’
respect the individualism
don’t agree? that’s fine with me – but hear me out
close your eyes and close your minds your tongues are all serrated knives
how did it ever come to this
how did we become so remiss
your power comes from the censorship we allow you to exploit
we objectify the world, and we objectify those in it, because we objectify ourselves – objectify ourselves and in this – the missing of a point, the missing of a mark, the missing of another voice lost
to the violence of silence in another man’s version of what my body is made for
is there any way i can reach you in the fray?
