Despondency (feat. Fern Maddie)
A one-eyed bird in an old oak tree
Casts its weary eye on me
It spreads its wings, but it cannot fly
It warns of our losses
From the ever-growing darkness
That overwhelming shadow of this discord that divides
A feeble, old man on a busy street
Invisible, he goes unseen
He speaks of our atrocities
Yet we heed not his warnings
We continue with our warring
Forever doomed to duplicate our darkest histories
Despondency
We languish in the anguish
Of our self-made misery
We're fraught with anxiety
Cynical and saddened
By civility abandoned
I fear the worst for our desperate search for our humanity
A fissure in the rock begins to form
Foretelling of the coming storms
We fail to hear, we fail to see
How our interests are all forfeit
To the champions of profit
Executives and statesmen of our flawed society
Despondency
We languish in the anguish
Of our self-made misery
We're fraught with anxiety
Cynical and saddened
By the ashes of compassion
I fear the worst for our desperate search for our humanity
The tear stained eyes of Liberty
Denounce naivety and greed
Why do we hate
Why do we fight
We vilify each other
O'er religion and our colors
Our politics make lunatics
There's no more wrong or right
Interdependency
Relinquish all this anguish
And let's try some empathy
Celebrate our commonalities
It's time to raise our voices
To a unifying chorus
And find our hearts before they're lost for all eternity
Let's shed some light
On this endless night
Of our
Despondency
Casts its weary eye on me
It spreads its wings, but it cannot fly
It warns of our losses
From the ever-growing darkness
That overwhelming shadow of this discord that divides
A feeble, old man on a busy street
Invisible, he goes unseen
He speaks of our atrocities
Yet we heed not his warnings
We continue with our warring
Forever doomed to duplicate our darkest histories
Despondency
We languish in the anguish
Of our self-made misery
We're fraught with anxiety
Cynical and saddened
By civility abandoned
I fear the worst for our desperate search for our humanity
A fissure in the rock begins to form
Foretelling of the coming storms
We fail to hear, we fail to see
How our interests are all forfeit
To the champions of profit
Executives and statesmen of our flawed society
Despondency
We languish in the anguish
Of our self-made misery
We're fraught with anxiety
Cynical and saddened
By the ashes of compassion
I fear the worst for our desperate search for our humanity
The tear stained eyes of Liberty
Denounce naivety and greed
Why do we hate
Why do we fight
We vilify each other
O'er religion and our colors
Our politics make lunatics
There's no more wrong or right
Interdependency
Relinquish all this anguish
And let's try some empathy
Celebrate our commonalities
It's time to raise our voices
To a unifying chorus
And find our hearts before they're lost for all eternity
Let's shed some light
On this endless night
Of our
Despondency
