Far away

I shut my windows.
I close my doors.
I pull my blinders down.
I close off all information.

Your poisoned hearts,
Your clouded minds,
You're shrouded in hate
While claiming truth and justice.

You won't accept a different thought,
It's either with or against you.
How can anyone find a way
When it's all covered in the darkest lies?

Why is it so easy to fool,
Deceive and claim righteousness as your own
Just as you cowardly take the knife in your hand
And prepare to strike the unaware while shouting self defence?

Why won't you look deeper?
Why won't you search a little longer?
Why do you only listen to what you want to hear?
Why won't you believe the truth even when it's facing you?

Why are you raging wars
Protecting castles of smoke and mirrors?
Why are you so angry?
Why are you putting others in harm's way?

Just to satisfy your bored desires,
You're claiming the hero life.
You won't look at it in any other way
And just rage on with your hatred

You're happy you found a scapegoat
A witch you can finally burn
But can't you see that all around you,
Cheering on your victory, are witches?

With a broken heart,
I look at you and close my mouth
Letting out one final sigh
Before I put the lid on it all...
