lyrics

The Sea Inside

I'm from a line that was born for freedom.
But now the fresh air only stings.
You thieves never feel a touch of conscience.
Never wonder why the caged bird sings.

Just like how you hunt for fun.
And pass the dead on the side of the road.
You never think twice.
Reckless incarceration
in the name of petty traditions.
You never think twice.

Breed more weakness; More dependence.
Keep up appearances; "We're so blessed."
But are we really best friends?
When you cage the pets and eat the rest?

Incarceration isn't preservation.

Just like how you hunt for fun.
And pass the dead on the side of the road.
You never think twice.
Your precious civil rights
never reach past tunnel vision.
You never think twice.
