Ivory Tower

We build cathedrals made of sand
Without a regard for firm foundation
We deify leaders bought by men
And turn a blind eye to all their dealings
I wanna smash the ivory tower
I wanna tear down the walls
I wanna break through all your borders
And show the world all we’ve lost
I wanna burn through all your privilege
I wanna vilify your hate
I want the violence of forgiveness
I want the healing of a saint
Bridges crumble when hate is alive
And loyalty has lost its meaning
But faith is so fragile
And pride is a necklace
The weight of shame must bear such a heavy crown
I wanna smash the ivory tower
I wanna tear down the walls
I wanna break through all your borders
And show the world all we’ve lost
I wanna burn through all your privilege
I wanna vilify your hate
I want the violence of forgiveness
I want the healing of a saint
Do you know them?
Do you love them?
Here’s your stones, take your aim
Do you know them?
Do you love them?
Here’s your throne of indignity
Lie in shame
And I will stand, I will sing
Cut my lungs right out of me
I will face the insurrection
You’ll make a martyr out of me
And I won’t break, I won't yield
Let you grovel for your fill
I would gladly march forever
To show justice has a place
And when their voice begins to fade
Who is left to blame?
When ash is all that still remains
Who is left to save?

Milk & Honey

Do you ever wake up and wonder where you are?
Does it feel like a nightmare?
Because how your skin appears.
I have seen the dreams of my family come to pass
We lived through the nightmare
It could never have been fair.
Oh, this land of milk and honey
Tastes so bittersweet
This is defeat
We build and build
Just to conquer their hate
We can’t escape
So the lies begin again
They deny, they take hope
They deny, they’re in control
They align and scorn through fear
They deny, that we’re welcome here
These strange fruits still swinging from their vines
Even with raised hands
We’re locked in the badlands
This dream is not the one we had in mind
Divided we still stand
Forgetting redemption
Oh, this land of milk and honey
Tastes so bittersweet
This is defeat
We build and build
Just to conquer their hate
We can’t escape
So the lies begin again
They deny, they take hope
They deny, they’re in control
They align and scorn through fear
They deny, that we’re welcome here
I’ve never felt the pain
You think you feel
I’ve never shown the hate
You think is real
Oh, this land of milk and honey
Tastes so bittersweet
This is defeat
We build and build
Just to conquer their hate
We can’t escape
So lie to me again
