Raised in times of calm and prosperity Pretended solid state A barrier with a purpose To keep nature out of range Never aware that we Had to witness all of this Past scars that was made Long before our time When the first hole cracks open Then the whole thing falls apart Leaving us to drown in panic Too frightened to ask for aid Your sympathy Is nothing but fear Erased with us Is your mantle and crown You sit in the distance - observing Why risk to burn your skin According to your actions we are not equal We have to protect you from us Walking on in silence Bottling up our frustrations Disappointed but yet not broken Making up the reasons We know what's best as always But you will go unjudged Except by me What cause is left Will we keep pretending The awkward silence when excuse is blunt This cause is left Yes I will pretend The sound of nothing when we hit the ground
