False convictions
Raised by the thinking heads
Making me fucking sick
Streets are dark and blue
And masses are loud
Assuming they are heard, as usual
This noise wall
These fake arguments
But why right now?
Awake and sleeping
At the same time
But why right now?
False perfection
Lying on biased ideals
Starts to crack from both ends
My caring has reached
Its limits and I
Can’t make a single move
To stop this act
Quick steps hammering the streets
Heavy silence followed by screams
Birds are fleeing over my head
And I’m still not moving
I just can’t shout loud enough
To drown out a thousand voices
False convictions
More vivid than before
Making plain questions flow
Am I the one being deceived?
Am I the stupid one pretending
To know the facts, to bear the truth?
