Scream

Listen to the whispers in the mist around you
Don't look away
Nothings hidden anymore, you can find it clear as day
The revolution isn't televised but you can watch it
You got a full screen of the obscene inside your pocket
It's entertainment right?
It isn't real life, not the slow unraveling of all that's civilized
It's not like criminals can make it into government
Just walk away from the conversation when it's troubling

Here it comes again
Is it guilt or shame
Why do you have to acknowledge the whole worlds in pain
Why do you have to know about what happens overseas
Or recognize the plight of people in this country's rights or needs?
"It isn't touching me, it's not my worry yet
So change the channel to some fake violence and get
The popcorn and turn the lights off and shut the fear out of it"
And maybe if it gets to your door you'll care about it

Let's go

Check check out the triggering content warnings before you access
But know the pertinent details will be redacted
Cause something you might see here is more than likely to shine an unsavory light
On someone white
Seated at the head of a table you already don't trust
Holdin a net worth required to afford snuff
Paying their way to a covered up clean slate
If the masses past the gates are willing to look away

Fronting blind,
You'd gouge your eyes
To keep them closed but
We will never be able to pretend we didn't know so

Scream for the silenced, even if you're not one
Scream like your silence isn't even any option
Scream for the nameless, buried and abused just
Scream at the top of your lungs until they hear you

Check check out the paranoia on the plausibility of civil war
here we are still treading with nothin to show for it
Not a single reparation ever made to date
Still lettin klan members into offices in every state
Still fumblin the bag over human rights
Still on the fence about what side we take on genocide
Feeding the machine, actin like it's someone else's fight
If you've never had to see it
stickin to your phenotype

Fronting blind
You'd gouge your eyes
To keep them closed but
We will never be able to pretend we didn't know so

Scream for the silenced, even if you're not one
Scream like your silence wasn't even any option
Scream for the nameless, buried and abused just
Scream at the top of your lungs until they hear you
