These are the air pockets
_____
These absurd convictions
That make us lose ourselves
These holes in our thoughts
We pretend nothing's wrong
_____
That everyone has their part in this great scene
_____
Everyone has their rights
Everyone has their own back
_____
To bear the weight of every choice
_____
And I realized that time doesn't always heal wounds
_____
That friends are fewer and fewer
_____
That there's no surrender without repentance
_____
That what I expect is just what I demand
_____
And I've learned to accept that affections betray
_____
That loves, even the greatest ones, end
_____
That there's nothing wrong in forgiveness
_____
That if I don't mess up I don't know who I am
_____
These superiority fixations
_____
Some still wage war
_____
That everyone has their part in this great scene
_____
That everyone has their rights and everyone has their own back
_____
To bear the weight of every choice
_____
And I realized that time doesn't help wounds
_____
That united people are fewer and fewer
_____
That there's no action without consequence
_____
Who's wrong and who's right when a child dies
_____
And so we stay quiet again because they prefer us like this
_____
All silent like dogs that obey
_____
We need more attention
If we're talking about life
_____
We're the silence that remains after the words
_____
We're the voice that can reach wherever it wants
_____
We're the border of our freedom
_____
We're the right to change everything and start again
_____
Everyone plays their part in this great scene
_____
Everyone has their rights
_____
Everyone has their own back
_____
To bear the weight of every choice
