World On Fire

I said wasn't gonna check on the news today

A fan of Marvin but I think I'll make blues today

The world is out of rhythm, another cataclysm

These schisms got me shrouded deep in doubt more than usually

I feel defeated in my victories, keep my family from misery

But visibly bombarded by bombings, physically sickens me

Helpless as father, it's a psychological trauma

That I wouldn't wish upon all my enemies

No honor is in these thieves, made martyrdom industry

No karma could ever equate the sum of a sentencing

What's left is this energy that converts into entropy

Or worse, it's a vengeance with no intention on ending things

Forever is a mighty long time to ever do anything

Imagine if you only ever dreamed of remembering

A sadness we all try to numb with the simple things

We share and reshare empathy becomes sympathy, but yeah

I say the world's on fire, and your body is the wood

Ain't burnt yet, keep surviving in your hood

Blind eye threats, wouldn't hide it if I could

Lines ain't left, better mind where you stood

War going on, inside where it's safe

Love under siege and them thugs near the gate

Civilized killers in disguise as the good

But you can't fool all the people all the time

Younger generations are idealist

Older generations provide ceilings

Knowing that that way of life is threatened

They're set on the lie feeling the changing tide

Knowing that the truth has arrived, fearing their time nearing

Behind dealings in public eye and wonder why

It's not made to hide like their other crimes

Age of information ain't the place you could summarize

And tell it how you want without a word from the other side

Serial imperialist, a pattern of victimhood

Shooting ain't euphoric, if you shot, it don't feel as good

Homicidal generals, a pawn in a chess game

Mongers invest in the same harm they're protesting

Your Honor, I'm guessing it won't let up till net gains

They'll have hand in death and just except that it left stains

What is there to get from being humble except pain?

No matter the life, to be alive is the blessing, sing

I say the world's on fire and your body is the wood

Ain't burnt yet, keep surviving in your hood

Blind eye threats, wouldn't hide it if I could

Lines ain't left, better mind where you stood

War going on, inside where it's safe

Love under siege and them thugs near the gate

Civilized killers in disguise as the good

But you can't fool all the people all the time
