The sound barrier
Under the ever inattentive eyes of the world
under the cover-ups of a democracy
there are those who lived in hope
and those who despaired
and those who lived anyway even though they were dying
there are those who can sleep
no matter how things turned out
no matter how things are going.
Under the weary and inattentive eyes of the world
the bullet is ready to be fired in a beautiful handwriting
the justice you are waiting for
is the same for us all *
it’s just that the judgments are a tiny bit late
lawyers raise their cups to heaven
feeling like they’re God
There is someone who can break the sound barrier
while the whole world is paraphrasing itself
striking a match in the darkness
brings more light than what we can see
there is someone who can break the sound barrier
Under the eyes of a world that has better things to do
each story is rewritten on the cheap
while pitbulls are unleashed on the streets to devour
while bosses are smoking
those who were supposed to pay never paid their dues
There is someone who can break the sound barrier
while the whole world is paraphrasing itself
striking a match in the darkness
brings more light than what we can see
there is someone who can break the sound barrier
the sound
the sound
Under the still inattentive eyes of the world
they are flooding the city center and the suburbs
the vampire doesn’t change
gun to the head
he won’t apologize for all that bloodshed
those who were supposed to pay were never held accountable for the famine
those who were supposed to pay never paid for the silverware
those who were supposed to pay never paid their dues.
There is someone who can break the sound barrier
while the whole world is paraphrasing itself
striking a match in the darkness
brings more light than what we might think
there is someone who can break the sound barrier
the sound
the sound
