The Coefficient Of Inefficiency

Oh, no one's at fault
Indifference shelters hope from growing full
Sympathy chose to shun contention borne home

What is it like to lose process?
Cadence shyly discarded in favor of confidence
Why can't you make step?
When we linger in apathy exploiting acts soon arise

Gather up proper prose
Chase it down, let it go
Let it go, let it go
Overlooked status quo
Pillars rise; statues fall, and they fall
They will fall

Brave few make drastic action, though some do
If we could just gather our strength we would know

This is our fault
Witness our willingness to doubt our heart
Beauty unfolds guided by consensus
Shared like the burden of beholding fate

Patch it up, there's a hole
Many hands, easy work
Easy work, easy work
If it stopped, help let it go
Hearten up, gain control
Gain control, gain control

Shifting the balance requires heavy weight

We should know this is our fault
Witness our willingness to doubt our heart
Beauty unfolds guided by consensus shared

Feathers twisting away from their birds
Left drifting along with no purpose
Fanning the flames while the earth burns
Contributing one ounce of weight
On the scale weighing out our fate
(Guided interference never slaughtered men
Nor cleansed a leper)
Be sure as gravity tears down
Indifference will to meet the ground
And bury us under its wings

Wait it out and pray it holds?
(Oh, this is our fault)
The dam will break; send the floods
Wash it clean with our blood
What better time to be told?
(I know this is our fault)
Motion falls to you and yours
Make a mark on the world
