Watching It Burn

Cynicism has taken a hold of me
Losing faith of any meaningful change
Is the world really this ugly place
Powerful few watch us fight for the scraps

I want to give up any thoughts that I had
Clinging to a sliver of hope
It's no longer worth the strength
That it takes trying to cope

Swell with guilt when I catch my breath
My sheltered class safe from civil death
Can't just turn it off
It doesn't just stop

Head in the sand, blinders on
While the world burns around
It's not fine, it never was
Too hard to stop seeing it now
