TruthBeKnown - Fed Deception lyrics

rate me

mouths stained with fear

fed mistrust, fed deception

what hand lifts the spoon

they ask for drink

and you draw from a well of hatred

they ask for nourishment

and are left to starve in a famine of ignorance

blood of your blood

reaching out with tiny hands

a life you created

an angel's breath in a child's eyes

hands raised to what

strike the mouth, or catch the falling

what fist dries the tears

they search for rest

but your mouth is a bed of vipers

they reach for love

and find words that sink like fangs

falling down, falling down

onto your wheel, shaped by your touch

under your fingers, under your fingers

innocence

untouched for you to shape

tread gently upon this

each fingerprint, a world of scars
