I Cannot Unwrite Anything

I cannot unwrite anything Even if I erase this thing The truth is out of the bottle You can wage a war, a battle You can fight all you want Demonstrate, set up a tent In the middle of the street Shame comes after a defeat. The genie is out of the bottle The truth will set me free You disagree, you’re angry You can wage a war, a battle When one lies, one sins Next time, try to make sense You cannot unwrite anything Even if I erase everything. The genie will never go back Regardless of what you try to do No apologies! We all feel the impact We must deal and stop the flu We cannot undo anything We cannot resuscitate the dead We must move away from this thing Or we all will die on this small bed.
