Empty Vessel - Warship

The gaze is not about desire, it’s a threat

To statues of falsehood that stood forever

And we forget every dream you’re scared to chase

Swallowed in the rapid pace of day-to-day-to-day

When the world has a virus from the core to the sky

Some try to salvage, some watch it die

I don’t want to be a vacuole an empty vessel

Ignorant, in comfort and consolation

In the darkest hearts we have compassion if we choose

An alternate to self importance and filtered news

Should be shaken off our back

Banish the imposing pest

How can I protest?

When the world has a virus from the core to the sky

Some try to salvage, some watch it die

I don’t want to be a vacuole an empty vessel

Ignorant, in comfort and consolation

Salvation

Heed the warming of the prophet condemning your course of action

Pinpoint the moment when it all began to come down
