Nadir
How can we just look at this
Do we degrade them
Think of their lives as if
They're less important
Then, left in the water
We can watch them sink
Have we taught ourselves to think
That we're divided
In fairness where the line is
They're on the outside
And left in the blindside
We don't let them in
Our downfall
Has begun
We'll touch nadir
There's no way out of here
Ignorance is bliss
When facing injustice
How are we able to sleep
When children are caged and
Must be detained or leave
Say this is our border
And we need our order
To enjoy The American Dream
Are we blinded, are we numb
Are we dead to what we've done
Generations build their lives
On the graves of their loved ones
Is it blood or is it tears
Running down their dusty cheeks
Or might it be our decency
And what's left of humanity
Our downfall
Has begun
We'll touch nadir
There's no way out of here
Ignorance is bliss
When facing injustice
Our downfall
Has begun
We'll touch nadir
There's no way out of here
Ignorance is bliss
When facing injustice
It's such a privilege to say
We were unaware
And walk away
See the blood on every street
Then wash our feet and let it be
We'll touch nadir
Do we degrade them
Think of their lives as if
They're less important
Then, left in the water
We can watch them sink
Have we taught ourselves to think
That we're divided
In fairness where the line is
They're on the outside
And left in the blindside
We don't let them in
Our downfall
Has begun
We'll touch nadir
There's no way out of here
Ignorance is bliss
When facing injustice
How are we able to sleep
When children are caged and
Must be detained or leave
Say this is our border
And we need our order
To enjoy The American Dream
Are we blinded, are we numb
Are we dead to what we've done
Generations build their lives
On the graves of their loved ones
Is it blood or is it tears
Running down their dusty cheeks
Or might it be our decency
And what's left of humanity
Our downfall
Has begun
We'll touch nadir
There's no way out of here
Ignorance is bliss
When facing injustice
Our downfall
Has begun
We'll touch nadir
There's no way out of here
Ignorance is bliss
When facing injustice
It's such a privilege to say
We were unaware
And walk away
See the blood on every street
Then wash our feet and let it be
We'll touch nadir
