Your Swift Ignorance

When is it time to lift our hatred?
This life cannot pull through
When can we not forsake trust?
I have foreseen the blue
When are we going to realise?
The truth is that I’m you
But life has twisted our views
And now you hate things too

My dreams have gone unending
The pain runs deeper now
For when I see life trembling
I know that I must bow
But when is freedom truthful?
When will truth be free?
I close my eyes and breathe in
I see that we are through

We need you not to tell us
We need you to believe
All our lives are precious
Why must you make us grieve?
You need to stop being selfish
Believing that you know
But life is not about this
Just drop and see the flow

You see now that we are turning
We will not let you breathe
Our pain is deep in earning
Our ways will make you leave
We all belong to one thing
This thing just wants to grow
But with your belief in greatness
This thing will soon just go
