Avalanches

Put up your walls
When nobody seems to care anymore
And put up the toll bridge
Ignorance is all you’ve got to lose
Burn all their books
The island mentality
So hollow it floats
On the treacherous sea
They say we ate the world that you deserve
And that’s the hardest way to make you learn
I see avalanches of ice
Fall into the ocean
It sends shivers down my spine
But I show no emotion
I see people fly to the bat
But their future’s counterfeit
And their heads go under
And there’s nothing I can do about it
I walk out into the sea
Try to turn the tide around
But the waves keep coming
And it’s fucking futile
Thicker than thieves
You sit on your fences
It’s just hard to believe
You wear your indifference
Like a heart on your sleeve
Waiting for the world to hear
And it’s the hardest way to make you learn
