  1. From Kate Tempest's "Tunnel Vision"
  2.  
  3. Every single body bleeding on its knees is an abomination
  4. And every natural being is making communication
  5. And we’re just sparks, tiny parts of a bigger constellation
  6. We’re miniscule molecules that make up one body
  7. You see the tragedy and pain of a person that you’ve never met
  8. Is present in your nightmares, in your pull towards despair
  9. And the sickness of the culture, and the sickness in our hearts
  10. Is a sickness that’s inflicted by this distance that we share
  11. Now, it was our bombs that started this war
  12. And now it rages far away
  13. So we dismiss all its victims as strangers
  14. But they’re parents and children made dogs by the danger
  15. Existence is futile, so we don’t engage
  16. But it was our boats that sailed, killed, stole, and made frail
  17. It was our boots that stamped
  18. It was our courts that jailed
  19. And it was our fuckin’ banks that got bailed
  20. It was us who turned bleakly away
  21. Looked back down at our nails and our wedding plans
  22. In the face of a full-force gale, we said
  23. “Well, it’s not up to us to make this place a better land
  24. It’s not up to us to make this place a better land.”
