Anger and Apathy

I've tried to find reconciliation behind the walls of those whose hatred burns
For I find it easier to reach someone who still feels
Than to make amends with passionless apathy
Where all lines are the same a portrait cannot be made

I need to burn inside
I need to know that you are alive

I need to know that feelings of discontent
Are stronger than indifference for those too weak to stand

Like a colorless sky over a sea of nothingness
Hatred faces its enemies while apathy strikes furtively

I need to burn inside
I need to know that you are alive

I need to know that feelings of discontent
Are stronger than indifference for those too weak to stand
I need to know that feelings of discontent
Are stronger than indifference for those too weak to stand

Until our anger burns against injustice
We will create the faceless by dismissing those forced to concede

Many of us have turned off the light outside, erasing what exists beyond our front door
And for you I find it harder to reach common ground than my most glaring opposition
But what about those who've lost the luxury of choice?
Striving for identity, buried by our lack of interest, souls marked as mere history
How much grievance will it take to awaken us?

I need to know that feelings of discontent
Are stronger than indifference for those too weak to stand
I need to know that feelings of discontent
Are stronger than indifference for those too weak to stand

How much grievance will it take to awaken us from the comfort of our homes?
The comfort of our oversized graves

I've tried to find reconciliation
