caves and embers

despite what is out there burning

our faces remain intact

we hear the screaming of the voiceless

yet we are numb to the pain of others

we filter out the light

it never penetrates our blinding screens

we can take a stand

but in the end it all means nothing

we rage out but we are wasting away

from the roots below

to the boundless stars above

we are nothing at all

what separates us from the others

a difference in choices made

we take an insignificant stance

what would we do in an opinion vacuum

when left unaccountable

so here we are far from the world

just wasting away

doing nothing being nothing

we are the favoured design

and we're wasting away

from the caves and embers

to the heart of the beyond

we are nothing at all

here we are doing nothing

being nothing

we are wasting away

from the roots below

to the boundless stars above

we are nothing at all

wasting away
