Against the Current

Against the Current - Earth Crisis

Written by：Not Documented

Go

To defy or tranquilize

Pretense to assimilate

Normalized till accepted

Caution falls to attrition

Keep my head above the surface

Holding on against the current

Raise the glass to crown the heights

To accelerate

Inhale the easy answer

The burning embers wait

Traverse the gateway

In a haze of smoke

Hits to pills until

No other way to cope

Rendered lifeless

Keep my head above the surface

Holding on against the current

Rivers of toxins

Dragged under and down

Caught in a torrent

Until they disappear

Warnings fall on deaf ears

Fractured lives slowly break

Wounds and scars last for life

Ruins left in their wake

Repulsed by all that I see

Waves break over me

Everlasting loyalty

Straight edge in contrast

To the conscious corpses

That drift lifeless past

Keep my head above the surface

Straight edge against the current

Keep my head above the surface

Straight edge against the current
