This injustice renders my thoughts ineffectual. Forgive me, Lover, and forget my sullen face. Privilege brings us to this place of human currencies. (We) buried our sisters in a glass display, only to evaporate to a toxic skyline - underneath we sell off the bodies.

My body became a graveyard where they buried thirsty souls. Show me your righteous leader; I'll show you the bullet holes. The preacher[i] with the parched tongue and the "God" that he controls: "Shake off the sin! Shake off the sin!" And spit out your cacophony of lies.

I'll climb through your screen and bleed out the image you left in me.[ii]

But God, are you man? Then how do you see me? From where you sit up in heaven[iii],  looking down on my hell. My body chokes back.
"I have nothing to draw with and the well is deep - where can I get living water?"[iv]

Enslaved in the "Land of the Free"[v]  - my prison is our wedding bed where you left me for dead. You'll leave us for dead. Apathy was our anchor to a digital sea[vi] where you drown in the comfort of our complicity.

Can Love save me? Will Your wrath avenge us?[vii]

Silent Planet – XX (City Grave)

VIVID SKIES
For Days awake searching through wretched nights, walking under city lights, I ain't feeling 
right, I ain't feeling……no satisfaction. 

Every second counts when I'm on the edge of consciousness. It drags me 
away from this planet to other galaxies where I am taught by an unknown race my heart has 
gone astray, I'm blaming the society, I’m blaming the society.

Imperfect thoughts in the depths of my mind that my stubborn head is trying to find. It is time 
to look the universe in the eye.

For days awake searching through wretched nights walking under city lights, I ain't feeling 
right and I don’t want to go down this road again.

How can we not feel alive, when we glance up at our vivid skies, I take a deep breath and 
erase all the hate inside, erase all the hate inside.
