Eviction

Fire
Searing endlessly
Raising pyres
For makeshift royalty
While we see fire
Burning everything

Forged trails we can't traverse
Neglected by the shield and purse
Built a den for callous thieves
Who stole this land of misery
Oh mother, Gaia
Be it sun or God
Bring thy wrath upon us all

Eviction
Smoked out
Like rodents in a maze
Caught up in the blaze
Eviction
Smoked out
Like rodents in a maze
Caught up in the blaze

Pierce us with a sword of bone
Streamed into an empty home
Through tubes sourced by military drones
Still life of flattened tones
Security morphing rapidly
Forever under quarantine
Filling time with tiny screens
Micro-dosing dopamine

Eviction
Smoked out
Like rodents in a maze
Caught up in the blaze
Eviction
Smoked out
Like rodents in a maze
Caught up in the blaze

Midnight sirens
Tolling of the bell
Sleepless, fraught, terrified
This feels like hell
This feels like fucking hell

Nature's executioner
Setting us aflame
Fingers broken
Pointed backwards
Seeking who to blame
Nature's executioner
Setting us aflame
Our display of ignorance
Has become our nation's shame

Brace for
Brace for eviction
Brace for
Brace for eviction
Brace for
Brace for eviction
Brace for
Brace for eviction
