The Light
Apostle Lyrics

Lights are on
We have electricity and modern technology.

But their
Despite the presence of the aforementioned, there is a serious issue.

Minds' are darkened
People are ignorant or misled.

All my life
For the entirety of my existence.

I have felt my coffin
I have felt like I am slowly dying or being buried by a flawed system.

All around us
This is a pervasive issue affecting all aspects of our society.

Acquire knowledge
We must educate ourselves in order to make progress.

But don't stare
But we should not become obsessed or fixated on the problem without taking action.

As the rich keep climbing
As those in power continue to accumulate wealth and influence.

How many times
This has been a recurring problem.

Must our families suffer
Families have been hurt by this broken system.

Must I watch my mother
I have personally witnessed my loved ones struggle under this system.

Try to get by
Attempting to survive in spite of the odds against them.

While she starves and wonders
Experiencing hunger and uncertainty.

If healthcare was better
If the healthcare system was fair and just.

Would my legs still stutter
Would I still be struggling with health issues that affect my mobility?

System equipped
The system we are dealing with is structured in a particular way.

With a sick intention
The system is corrupt and serving its own interests over those of the people.

Kickbacks for doctors
Doctors are incentivized to act in the interests of corporations rather than patients.

Who don't pay attention
They do not provide adequate care for their patients.

Meanwhile the vile
Meanwhile, the elite and corrupt continue to accumulate wealth.

Dispense their millions
They use their power and resources to maintain the status quo.

Ensuring
This guarantees that.

We keep this as our system
The broken system is perpetuated with their support and power.

Is anybody paying attention
Are people tuning into this problem?

Probably not
Many people are likely not taking this seriously.

Cause its a rigged system
Because the system is fundamentally flawed and corrupt.

Who benefits from
Who is positively affected by the existing system?

These decisions It isn't those
The people do not benefit from these choices.

Who are just making ends meat
Those who are struggling to get by.

It seems
It appears.

That everyone's thinking this
Many people recognize this issue.

But isn't giving two shits
But many people do not care enough to take action.

Cause they have never known anything better
Many people do not know that there is an alternative, better way of doing things.

Take a look around the world
Explore how other societies address similar issues.

Well their
In other places.

How does it feel
What is the emotional impact?

When your called a liar
When someone accuses you of lying.

Told that pain's
Told that experiencing pain is normal or acceptable.

Just part of your life
That suffering and strife are a given and cannot be changed.

While they keep you waiting
Leaving you in a state of limbo or uncertainty.

Just to tell you
Only for the purpose of informing you.

That you are crazy
Dismissing your concerns or downplaying your experiences to maintain the status quo.

All of us
All individuals or people affected by this issue.

Well we must do something
It is imperative that we take action to address the issue.

'fore we're fucked
Before the situation becomes even more dire.

And we can't do nothing
We cannot sit idly by and watch this happen.

Understand
We must comprehend and acknowledge.

That just doing nothing
If we do not take action.

Is the reason
This is why.

We are so fucked the
The situation is so dire.
