A false hope for opulence.
Ignoring these patterns of violence .
We tie our own hands,
rendering ourselves defenseless.
Replacing the truth in exchange for a fabricated reality.
Live and die for this dream.
Your silence is deafening.
Your neutrality is just an excuse for apathy.
The scapegoat is in place.
Misdirected anger, misguided rage.
We ignore the true enemy, choking on our good intentions.
See through opened eyes,
for once in your coddled life.
Will you take a firm stance?,
though this reality is hard to digest.
Or will you bash your head against the stone and die a cowards death?

This is sort of my reintroduction to Zao, after leaving off when they released 'Awake?' I am still getting to know the album, but it is intense, and I do enjoy it quite a lot. Autumn Amelia Sinclaire
