lyrics

This is the hand we were dealt, better get on with it
So we shut our doors and kept our distance
Doing our best with the world on hiatus
We all just want to survive the pandemic
But from the woodwork the voices are shrieking
“Free speech is over!”, the panic is spreading
Finger-pointing got them drawing lines
And fringe voices are on the rise

They prime with fear
Then stain with blame
Painting shadows around every corner

The world in hues of confusion, no solution
And with it comes the mental exhaustion
But giving into fear's helping no-one

Prime
Fear
Stain
Blame
They prime with fear
Then stain with blame
Painting shadows around every corner

Flailing for a sense of control
The conspiracy smears the soul

They prime with fear
Then stain with blame
Painting shadows around every corner

I reject their airbrushed fear
I paint hope
