Senseless Songtext
von Mr Ekow

Walk through the people, through the town
What′s all around? What's all around? Yeah
What′s all around? Yeah
Walk through the people, through the town
What's all around? What's all around?
What′s all around? Yeah

I see
Arrows flying at their targets, children left unguarded
Discarded gardens and hardened hearts sold for bargains

Foolish spartans darkened by their own ardent cries
Sharpened grins when the market wins, buying a pardoned lie
Arsoned by the smartest guy who blames the Martian
While he holds the matching holes in
Just for show, he spades the passerby
Starlit eyes arching high but marching right by
The terror in their home left to roam without asking


I
Taste bitterness sprinkled with dreams soured
But powdered with sweet nothings and bluffers to empower
Cowards staking claims to pallets so plain

Doubters′ hairspray on tongue of acid rain

Strange place of the raw burnt and braised
Exchanged in one feed with seeds that take reign
Ingrained in each brain a hunger for the fame
A strain to be saved, we'd wonder how it′s made
I
Smell fear, it appears to be rising
Lighting the atmosphere with fire that's igniting
The smoke we inhale, the hell that′s baptising
People once well now jailed or in hiding

Sweet aromas covert with a binding
Sliding in between the stench of those dying
Guiding the undead led to death's track
And matched the old fumes, perfumed the recycling
I

Feel the world quaking, hearts aching, souls shaking
Hopes breaking, ready to leave or to be forced taken

Coarse scraping of the humanity left
Death′s shaping of insanity on the passive repressed


Blessed and the privileged living within a mesh
Obsessed to have witnesses witness what they possess
An itch unscratchable, mind weak and malleable
Hunger pangs unnatural, a rail for the unfathomable
I

Hear snickering, snivering through the apathy
Casualties can't handle an optimistic said alchemy
Blasphemous from the gallantly, braced for all the calamity
Manually screaming vanity, reaching from their own rhapsody
Manically made screams, agony from the seams
Elaborately placed masks to mask what's underneath

Quiver between the teeth, a whisper to ear needs
Belief in those words that lead to a deceit
I

Walk through the people, through the town

What′s all around? What′s all around? Hey
What's all around?
Walk through the people, through the town
What′s all around? What's all around?
What′s all around? Yeah

You see their faces but don't feel their pain
Won′t hear their struggle, the bitter strain
You see when life don't smell so sweet
You're wondering how you′re gonna beat
Another day
Another day

I

Wanna change it all, rearrange it all
Face it all for what it is, make a shift to hear just as cool
But I feel just as small as the smallest sand that crawls
Or the raindrop that falls in the world′s ocean pool
And who am I to fall? I'm falling on my own face

Not in a prayer state, but falling far from his grace
Yeah, I can taste the waste resident within this space
It breaks out and leaks out in every single breath I take
′Cause I've been all these things: bitter, tired, broken

Choking on my pride and lusting for unspoken
Idols that have me idle, frozen within the moment
Unfocused on all the potent Trojans that rip open
The whole world around me has found me left defenseless
And the whole world around me just senses the consensus
That this is just the norm, but that just sounds senseless
If this is all we know, it′s time for us to sense less
I

Believe in the sense to know what makes changes
Not be debaters from places we feel the safest
I

Believe a threat to freedom anywhere's a threat everywhere
A placid stare is the same as a deathly glare
I believe the universe curves towards justice
The moral arc of our heart reflects this compass
I

Believe in something bigger than all of these things
In him, I know this change, so that′s where I'll begin
