[Lyric] Guillotine (Lunar Ark)

We live in the shadows of skyscrapers
Vacant luxury apartments
These will never be our homes
Our feet will never know those hardwood floors
Our wrists never resting on those marble countertops
Closed eyes, dreaming, on a king sized bed
Sleeping fine, down for the whole night

And I feel contempt, spit at the name of
Another stolen city. Another neighborhood
Of racist cops, whitewashed restaurants
And rising rent

I daydream of the guillotine
But don’t say a thing

So we scatter these families
Bulldoze over their memories
While we Erect monuments to eternal wealth
Foreboding monoliths with no soul
Blackened cavities against the skyline
Sneering up at the winter moon
“Nothing personal, just supply and demand”

And I do nothing
Just hide inside
Oh, I know this privileged life

Call to behead all those self made men
Trust fund boys performing sleight of hand
Tricks with their blood red fingertips
Bury them up to their necks
And for the first time
Nourishing the soil they sapped
Now and forever
