Raised in times of calm and prosperity
Pretended solid state
A barrier with a purpose
To keep nature out of range

Never aware that we
Had to witness all of this
Past scars that was made
Long before our time

When the first hole cracks open
Then the whole thing falls apart
Leaving us to drown in panic
Too frightened to ask for aid

Your sympathy
Is nothing but fear
Erased with us
Is your mantle and crown

You sit in the distance - observing
Why risk to burn your skin

According to your actions we are not equal
We have to protect you from us

Walking on in silence
Bottling up our frustrations
Disappointed but yet not broken

Making up the reasons
We know what's best as always
But you will go unjudged
Except by me

What cause is left
Will we keep pretending
The awkward silence when excuse is blunt

This cause is left
Yes I will pretend
The sound of nothing when we hit the ground
