DON'T LIE TO ME

You used to be those primitive beings
Living in fear of that which you did not know
You say you have changed
That you are no longer afraid of anything.
Don't lie to me.

You speak as though you alone
Know of those terrible truths 
The rage and fear and pain
The tears that flow like rivers
Tracing through the dirt and blood
As if you, and only you, have been hurt
As if we are not suffering too.
Don't lie to me.

You swear you're doing better
Evolving until you become your machines
You say that its okay to kill everything else
As long as you survive
And hold onto your self-proclaimed power
That it doesn't matter that one day soon
You'll wake up and discover that it really is too late.
Don't lie to me.

Don't pretend you don't know
You're still the same.
Don't pretend you don't understand 
How much you've hurt us.
Don't pretend you don't realize
You are running out of time.
Don't lie to me.
