Lines in the Sand

The streets light up with the fires of debate
Anger flows from screens that fucking dictate
Words like weapons, sharpened by fear
Under the spotlight, every damn thing's clear

Politicians draw lines, make us choose sides
Media's blaze, where the truth fucking collides
Every headline designed to ignite
A world divided by hate, day and night

Are we just shadows, casting stones
Building walls from these broken bones
Hate's loud echo fills the skies
Is this the goddamn path we recognize

Echo chambers amplify the screams
Silencing the dreamers, drowning dreams
Each claim stokes the fires anew
In a world that cheers as the violence brews

Can you hear the whispers of the old and wise
Speaking softly beneath the angry cries
Love's language lost in the raging din
How the hell did we let the darkness in

Are we just shadows, casting stones
Building walls from these broken bones
Hate's loud echo fills the skies
Is this really the path we recognize

Are we just shadows, casting stones
Building walls from these broken bones
Hate's loud echo fills the skies
Is this really the path we recognize

As the last echo fades into the night
Survey the ruin, the loss, the plight
Through the ashes, what do we show
Is this the goddamn future we want to know
