Lyrics Apogee - Hit the Switch

Apogee

A late martyr to us all
The ever growing presence
Cradled in her womb through all these years
While beaten by the sun
And through her silenced cries
They failed to make things right
Among the million times we tried
But to no avail
The might of all is burned
I felt the reeling of our hearts intrepid sight
We can’t see the world’s suffering and vulnerable inside
It’s not her need to come undone
It’s just the markings of our selfish impulsions
The coming sun
I felt the anger come over me
I hated everyone else
I victimized the pain
I saw the worst in each stranger’s faceless name
It’s not the way that this had to be
We all bought meaning from our lives
Entire values were all prescribed
And all minds commodified
I felt the burning of her grip
And it laced right though my heart
I felt alone but I still kept it moving on
And once I couldn’t feel the pain
I released it to the world
A feeling touched by all the same
I couldn’t see I felt the collective betrayed
This futile few that kept the night
Traveled a thousand years to learn to break the soul
Is it appealing to you now
This all stops when you change
All of this pain we can’t realize
It’s someone else’s home
She witnessed the killing of loved ones
They died in vein
And though I couldn’t speak for her
I felt the overwhelming loss
And everything becomes as one
I see myself
I see wife
I see my son
This isn’t new to Mother Earth
She has allowed the seventh sun to be the final one
Last embrace before it’s gone
There’s no more home
I share a common guilt here too
Just call my name
