From the recording Baby Blue
This song was inspired by the ongoing conflict and genocide in Gaza while the world looks on and does nothing.

Lyrics
It's all on you
It's all on you
Baby blue
Shot down by you
The City Gates
The world awaits
Sick and tired
Uninspired twist of faith
You say you never intended
You never intended this
How do you measure little sisters
Caught in violent mess
And I wait longer
As you grow stronger
I watch you hesitate
In the night stillness
Illegal settlers
The Children beg for bread
What hurts the most
In silent crowds
Tolerant elite empaths
Don’t speak so loud
And you refuse
When you're needed most
See refugees in cardboard boxes
Starving
And I wait longer
As you grow stronger
Like hardline criminals
Misinformation
Sensationalising wars
The children beg for bread
You say you never intended
You never intended this
How do you measure little sisters
caught in a violent mess
You never defended
you never defended us
So many pretty eyes dying
Leaders look oblivious
It's all on you
It's all on you
Baby Blue
Fingerprints on you
And you refuse
When you're needed most
A darkness we have know
Is my vision impaired
And I stayed longer
Than I should have done
I wait for you to wake up
