What We've Become by EversouL

Wolves in shepherd's clothing Pull the wool over our eyes Social media disguises Ugly naked truths as well-dressed lies We run on empty, filled with rage Wanting to break free, but not allowed to leave our cage Society crumbling, a snake eating its tail Fiddling while we burn and cheering when we fail Everyone is jaded, everybody’s overrated Every chance to get ahead, every time we get dragged down Everything is black and white, everyone is wrong and right Everybody’s got opinions and the loudest is the one that wins There’s always someone else to blame For the can we’ve kicked down the road We hope & dream for solutions while We play in the ruins of what we’ve become Surrounded by darkness It’s easier to see the light Negativity and propaganda make it Hard to focus on what should be right Self-righteousness is our oxygen, and In the eyes of the wrong there’s perfect vision Even when we light a candle We never fail to cast a shadow Everyone is so divided, everybody’s undecided Everyone is so aggressive, everything is so oppressive Everyone's discriminating, everybody’s tolerating Everyone’s a victim and life is never fair There’s always someone else who’ll pay For all the debts that we all owe We hope & pray for solutions and we Dance in the ruins of what we’ve become While we wring our hands at our destruction Quietly he makes his introduction He’s our hopes & dreams unanswered The beast we’ve built, what we’ve become
