Rebuilding Lyrics by Bad Breeding

Human Capital

2022

The rot has always been there, raked beneath the leaves
Legacies of failure yearning for the thaw
Every spoil and flaw stain of human greed
Preserved in perpetuity - you reap all that you sow'
But as the heat strips flesh and lead pierces dreams
They'll impress that you're the one who planted the seed

See they will paint no doves and they will fold no cranes
No bird song on the wind, just the silence of our shame
And as the heat strips flesh and lead pierces dreams
We'll scuttle in the silt of their greatest levelling

On hatred they thrive
To mine and divide
A distortion of present
With histories excised
Suffocation and isolation
To etch the split, sever the ties

But there is contact in grief, union in agony
Bonded by the guise of every stolen hour
And there is latent love in the medicated guilt
Beneath dead labour and the laundering of time

And as the earth cries
Its ailing breath
What was sold abstract
Is dragged into view
That their only weapon
Is our devotion
To the degradation
Of dissension

How far will you drag the carcass of disgust?
How many drowned on the shores of excess?

No more abstractions
No more chimera of peace
Restore the commonality
They had you disbelieve
In the isolated torment
And the identikit stench
In every doubt retched into the sink
With each empty performance
And the modesty to staunch the bleed
In the engineered suspicion
And cycles of extortion
Before soil and sky reclaim
And all that remains
Are the pitted scars
Of what could have stood
