Northern Path, Southern Lens

from WATD07 · Tread A Northern Path by Carson Wells

lyrics

Dear human. Dear herd.
Assumptions without context condemn the unknown.
Dear blood and bone,
Here’s to our merger of separate agendas,
In a district of no hope.
This is a satellite of courage on plains plagued by revulsion.
Are we conditioned to contradict?

Blood and bone.
The interest of self holds steadfast before a path unknown.
The bonds are bound.
The power of fallacy judges and we're found.

Dear hypocrite. Dear conformist.
Know this palette is vital and that this is a time of colour.
Dear blood and bone,
Here’s to our merger of separate agendas,
In a district of no hope.
Rendering everything,
From animosity to lethargy, the hateful breed,
the fickle and stubborn, anew and familiar.

Perceived loss in a sly escape,
Leaves a timeless stay.
For the sake of a welcome day,
One time I’ll pay.

Onwards to better things.

An unescapable past that has never left you,
Returns smiling, triumphant.
Engage in a dialogue,
A conversation, a wish.
Tread a northern path,
With a southern lens,
Explore what lies ahead.
Decisions are made,
Actions are taken.
Consultation is ignored or discarded.
Your shadow will always come and go.
We all fall alone.
