My ancestry - epitome of evil, guess we might have passed the pinnacle but it's in our veins
Annihilating millions for political convenience leaving every beating heart in a daze
Living in a borderline society, riots and rivalries, left to find a cure for our rage
And I am well aware my blessing is a part of the curse cause I have never shared a load of that pain
I want you to read my lifeline
And tell me whеre to go
Because I can't sacrificе my lifetime to see if there's another one
Are we all just going in circles, will it all be justified?
Guess I'll keep living on the blindside
Waiting in the weight of all the shame
I can't even get grip on the degree of my privilege
And I despise that it almost seems invisible to its existence
Barely reading past the headlines, watching from the sidelines, waiting for the right time to act upon it
And if I'm just an empathetic coward that facilitates these powers, well then who am I to delegate blame?
So I keep waiting in the weight of all the shame
I want you to read my lifeline
And tell me where to go
Because I can't sacrifice my lifetime to see if there's another one
Are we all just going in circles, will it all be justified?
Guess I'll keep living on the blindside
Waiting in the weight of all the shame
So I keep waiting in the weight of all the shame
