- From Kate Tempest's "Tunnel Vision"
- Every single body bleeding on its knees is an abomination
- And every natural being is making communication
- And we’re just sparks, tiny parts of a bigger constellation
- We’re miniscule molecules that make up one body
- You see the tragedy and pain of a person that you’ve never met
- Is present in your nightmares, in your pull towards despair
- And the sickness of the culture, and the sickness in our hearts
- Is a sickness that’s inflicted by this distance that we share
- Now, it was our bombs that started this war
- And now it rages far away
- So we dismiss all its victims as strangers
- But they’re parents and children made dogs by the danger
- Existence is futile, so we don’t engage
- But it was our boats that sailed, killed, stole, and made frail
- It was our boots that stamped
- It was our courts that jailed
- And it was our fuckin’ banks that got bailed
- It was us who turned bleakly away
- Looked back down at our nails and our wedding plans
- In the face of a full-force gale, we said
- “Well, it’s not up to us to make this place a better land
- It’s not up to us to make this place a better land.”
