Collective Amnesia

Streets are screaming names we used to know
Echoes fading out like ghosts in snow
Faces blur into a static screen
Truth erased in the cracks between

For every sign we swore we'd never miss
Buried deep under ignorance and bliss
History burning in a silent flame
No one left who remembers the name

Collective amnesia spreading like disease
Memory collapsing, falling to its knees
Voices turning hollow, swallowed by the lie
And nobody wonders why

Shadows move where the living used to stand
Empty eyes waiting for a command
Minds unplugged from the fragile past
Torn apart by forgetting fast

Prophets scream but the crowd stays blind
Willing slaves of a broken mind
Pages gone from the book of days
Nothing left but rewritten ways

Collective amnesia spreading like disease
Memory collapsing, falling to its knees
Voices turning hollow, swallowed by the lie
And nobody wonders why

A silence forming like a cage of dust
Every truth turning into rust
Someone cries, but the sound won't last
Lost again in the echo of the past

They erase what we used to be
Cut the roots of our history
When the final memory disappears
We'll forget we ever cared

Collective amnesia crack inside the soul
Erase the beginnings swallow the whole
Truth becomes a rumor buried with time
And nobody sees the crime
