Exploit - City State

Black clouds conceal the deception

Lacing the words of the inner state

We’re turned around as our voices cry out for help

And find rest in the ones that tear us down

Look away

Find safety in the ones that led us astray

The evidence has never been more clear

But we’re blind to it, blind to it

We remain the same, stuck in our ways

Blind to the force that will make us change when it’s too late

We fell short, took the easy way out

And vowed to forget what «never happened»

Find truth in the thoughts we tucked away

Before that is gone too

Trust doesn’t belong with those that silence the truth

We put our faith in hands of chaos bred

Through desperation for something new

But we’re alone in the end

Victims to the safety that was promised

Exploited by the ones who claim to serve our needs

Fear is fabricated to fuel the disease

Ignorance is blinding

We’re building walls to cover up the lies we believe in

Find truth in the thoughts we tucked away

Before that is gone too

Trust doesn’t belong with those that silence the truth

We put our faith in hands of chaos bred

Through desperation for something new

But we’re alone in the end

Victims to the safety that was promised

Ignorance is blinding

We’re building walls to cover the lies we believe in

But we’re alone in the end

Fear is at the gates

But it’s our own creation

A trap meant to counter progress
