Shut Up

Your crowns are made of dust and echo

Silver tongues drip poison into empty veins

I feel your whispers coil around the spine of the world

Every complaint a detonator in fragile minds

You sip oblivion while oceans swell inside our chests

Shut your mouths, drown in your own reflection

Not every wound bleeds like yours, not every scream is hollow

Your ignorance is fire in the lungs of the living

Step aside, let the weight of us crash over you

You build monuments from other people’s silence

Stack your wealth on graves of unseen anguish

I carry the tidal pulse of all your blind destruction

A storm gathering in the marrow of my skull

Your laughter fractures like ice in a sunless sea

Shut your mouths, drown in your own reflection

Not every wound bleeds like yours, not every scream is hollow

Your ignorance is fire in the lungs of the living

Step aside, let the weight of us crash over you

I feel the tremor beneath your polished floors

Your comfort is a parasite, feeding on the dead weight of the world

We claw, we writhe, we roar in the furnace of your entitlement

And when the silence falls, your towers crumble in our pulse

Shut your mouths, drown in your own reflection

Not every wound bleeds like yours, not every scream is hollow

Your ignorance is fire in the lungs of the living

Step aside, let the weight of us crash over you
