surveillance - i was there lyrics
[verse 1]
i was there when it all began
when roots took hold in fertile soil
a rumbling tension slowly built
and i never said a thing
i was there when the truncheons swung
the choking burn of pepper spray
the television said i’m safe
so i never did a thing
[verse 2]
i was there when the bullets flew
golden wasps that seared the air
bodies fell in graceless arcs
and i turned my gaze away
i was there whеn cells slammed shut
gatherеd up and caged like beasts
but freedom isn’t lucrative
there’s money to be made
[verse 3]
i was there when the fuse was lit
a thunderclap of heaven’s wrath
a million voices crying out
but i never heard a thing
i was there for the awful end
the bodies strewn in ashen piles
they told us this would keep us safe
and we never learned a thing
