Lyrics
Qualms Of Reality
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Redundant cruelty
Children are shoveled into enclosed solitude
In lack of value cause by minor defects
Each one an unsuitability
Outside the publics field of vision
Left to die on a bed of concrete
While the rich swallows ostentation
Distorted minds screaming for consolation
The vanity of convenience rules the world
Locked up
Who cares about rights
So what
If the world's a bit rude
The prosperous
Pay to keep it concealed
Leaving problems untouched because of fear
Abondoned lives
Hundreds in a room, staring with empty swollen eyes
Mutilated possibilities
Enslaved by insanity
The belligerent arrogance of the leaders
Strangles the subjecteds right
To a childhood of safety
Nightmares but for real for ever engraved
In the minds of lost infancies
Shut out
From this dying world of calumny
Infanticide
A thousand souls a day flows away with the breeze
Living corpses, breathing lungs filled with disease
Underdeveloped twisted thoughts, trying to understand
Unfairly secluded by the prevailing injustices
That pushes this mentally ill world
Over the edge of acceptance
Locked up
Who cares about rights
So what
If the world's a bit rude
The prosperous
Pay to keep it concealed
Leaving problems untouched because of fear
Death inside, without reach-their freedom. bound to feel,
Within-
Illness floating. souls in penury, soon to fade out-aggravation
In
Charge...bemoan oppression, extensive carnage behind walls of
Uncertainty, we'll realise as the floods of insight come down
