antinatalie - Anthem Lyrics

I wanted to believe
There was something there
Some morsel of a truth
Whispered too long ago

I can't remember
I wanted to believe
In some truth we told
Some skeleton of kindness
Some good guy with a gun
Don't worry we'll protect you
Under these wings of lead

We manufactured divinity
A Frankenstein's monster
With gold in its eye
And in a hurricane of blood
We have found the wells run dry

Framed fathers in our schools
With other people's teeth in their mouths
They say money ruins everything
So why is that what they shaped around it

Burn it all down to the ground
Just to see what God will restore
We've come too far to turn back now
Turn it up so we might live forever

We always called this silence
Our permission
Pretending ours is the will of God
What the hell else could it be

How much longer will it hold
This imperium of spines
How much pressure can it take
The pillars holding you upright
How much more blood will you spill
Before your breath runs out
How much can you write off
As what you thought was right
How much time do we have
Before the ground shakes out
