This Is Who We Are

Tied to the rock

Chains around his feet

Stripped of all pride

Laying with the deceit

 

Left there alone

Left there to die

The last words he remembers

Is when he was told goodbye

 

Raise his head to see the

People staring all around

Our eyes met his

Our heads are downed

 

We can see the suffering

We can see the pain

We don't do nothing,

We don't do a **** thing

 

The only light

Is trained on him

Our eyes glow alive

And then turn dim

 

We all fall back

Much rather watch him bleed

Leave the knives in his chest

After we've done the deed

 

This is who we will always be

This is who we are

**** everything promised to us

And watch the world bleed from afar

Notes

For those who are not able to understand this, it is about the world, and how we all take it for granted, destroy it, and never do a thing to fix it even though in the end we are just destroying our future, along with the future generations. Don't ask me where this came from cause I still don't know myself.
