Eyes Sewn Shut

Boots cracked pavement, promises kept Fed us martyrs as they wept Hanging their bones

on every screen But the crown is the true disease Scapegoats strung up

like trophies Smiling faces taking pictures slowly Hollow wins remain Cheers while drain

your veins Can't scream if you're gagged on the anthem Can't hear if

you're numb from the lies Can't fight if you're chained to their system

Can't think if you're blinded by their guise Eyes sewn shut with the status

quo Stitch by stitch till the light can't show They carve their

truth into our skin Blind obedience, mine, the only sin
