Effigy

I don't wanna be trapped in this realm My curse: a quest for independence I'm only free cause I can't even see you Yet alone in my room, I still hear you I still feel your hurt But I'm lost to the world I'm in pain, I am blind, I am blue And it doesn't seem to matter It's on me, not on us, it's on you Or it doesn't seem to matter My own gloom, my own fault, it's all me When nothing seems to matter I don't know but it feels like a dream When I wake up, will it matter Will it matter to me There is no relation, just severed ties of human connection Rotten and toxic the womb spat us out Now we toxify, each alone in a crowd Forever basking in your petty victories I don't believe in your God of fixed History I'm not your effigy We're only moving forward into mystery My God is Humanity But you steal. You rob. You hurt And it doesn't even matter You beat. And shun. Uproot And it doesn't even matter It's the class, it's my kin, it's the color of my skin It divides, it's my sin, the rot comes from within And so you steal. You rob. You hurt And it doesn't even matter Cause nothing matters to you I am lost to the world Lost to the world But you steal. You rob. You hurt And it doesn't even matter You beat. And shun. Uproot And it doesn't even matter It's the class, it's my kin, it's the color of my skin It divides, it's my sin, the rot comes from within I feel the rage and the panic, we are scared but we're ready Through the pain, we get better, always there for one another
