I need to believe

That what I've seen here

Is truly real

To know that I have seen

The depth of evil

Free of words

You counter frames

You move through time

As though you were space

I fear for my life

I do not understand

You seem to lose yourself

Inside of life

We try to rebuild

Free of dominated air waves

From those who don't feel

The pain they have caused

I need you to know

That I will be

Fine no matter

What you become

If you want to fight

Feel free to die

For nothing at all

I've paid my price

I lost my life

Before I fall

Into your eyes

I need you to think

About what you've done

Inside of life

You are the terror

That humanity built these laws for

You are outlined in laws

You push my bones to the edge of terror

You show me pain

Smother my face

And all of my thoughts

With all your rage

And all of your pain

You tell me to avenge you

Yet you stand before me

You tell me life is over

I don't know who you are

I know you can't see

Blinded by the rage inside the heart that feels

You are abandoned by yourself

I suppose this is the price we pay

To understand each other

To trace all of pain

I feel you smother

With all of your rage

You can deny me

You can trade place

With someone in this fire

But no one can find you

You are awakened

Posted against walls

Trying to claim to

Know you

And all you have done

We are the same light

Eternally engulfed

Internally we run

Far from the truth

We can't bear to see

That we are to blame

For simply bearing witness

To the depth of your hatred

Begin to see the changes

The temper made to soothe

Over your wounds

I still don't believe

You know

The depth of belief

We try to rectify

The problems we've solved

With genocidal answers

With concentrated camps

We separated

Families from themselves

To try to instill more

Of the fear that we felt

I aim to believe in you

I know you are a man just the same

We try to change what we've done

We try to walk through the flames

But I am not a god

Nor do I believe in myself

To ever hold power over those

Who wander far from themselves

I try to refrain

From entering the temples

That we have built

To ensure we never die

Inside the eyes of mankind

We try to communicate

That we as well

Are also alive

And well

Don't gravitate

To the depth of hell

It's far too strong

And it smells so sweet

The death of innocence

Began with me

We know what we've done here

Mark our graves here

The ocean that surrounds us

Engulfs our lungs
