Scream - 02. Red tape ruler
Stamp on stamp line on line
Ten years waiting progress confined
The wind won't turn the forests burn
While files stack high at every turn
Drowning deep in endless files
Chained to rules stretched out for miles
Red tape ruler king of delay
Ideas dissolve while we decay
Fifty billion lost to forms each year
Dreams deferred the cost is clear
A thousand rules but no one leads
A fertile ground for wasted deeds
Drowning deep in endless files
Chained to rules stretched out for miles
Red tape ruler king of delay
Ideas dissolve while we decay
A digital promise an analog chain
A modern world but progress feigns
Where's the spark to cut the knot
When even time itself is caught?
Drowning deep in endless files
Chained to rules stretched out for miles
Red tape ruler crowned in lies
While we watch the future die
Not a revolution but a gentle hand
To lift the weight and help us stand
Simplify the maze untie the binds
A path for progress for freer minds
I often wonder what trace of me will remain — and in this song, I tried to hold on to the hope that love leaves a light behind, even when I’m no longer here to keep it burning.
