The gaze is not about desire,
It's a threat to statues of falsehood that stood forever
And we forget
Every dream your scared to chase swallowed
in the rapid pace of 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 wan't to be a vacuole
An empty vessel, ignorant in comfort and consolation

In the darkest heart we have compassion if we choose
an alternate to self importance and filtered news
Should be shaken off her back
Banish the imposing pest
And 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 wan't to be a vacuole
An empty vessel, ignorant in comfort and consolation

Salvation, heed the warning of the prophet
condemning the course of action

Pinpoint the moment
When it all began to come down
