Nic - part 2

Text:
Verse 1
We built our eyes to pierce the night,
mirrors turning dark to light.
Galaxies whisper, black holes sing,
but down below they clip the wings.

They cut the funds, they sell the lies,
turn off the truth, blind the skies.
While telescopes are reaching out,
they shout us down with fear and doubt.

Chorus
We’re blind to the stars, by our own decree,
too busy fighting what we can’t see.
Trump cuts the cords, the data dies —
and ignorance wins the Nobel prize.

(solo)

Verse 2
Fermi asked where life might hide,
we answered back with national pride.
Cancel the quest, reduce the scope,
feed the masses, starve the hope.

Every law that kills a dream,
builds a wall where light should stream.
They fear the sky because it shows
how small their little kingdom grows.

Chorus (repeat)
We’re blind to the stars, by our own decree,
too busy fighting what we can’t see.
Trump cuts the cords, the data dies —
and ignorance wins the Nobel prize.

(solo)

Bridge
We stare at the void, but the void stares back,
asking why we chose the black.
The future fades in budget lines,
signed away by shallow minds.

Outro
Maybe the aliens pass us by,
watching our world forget to try.
They see our lights, then shake their heads —
“intelligence?” one of them said.
