Beyond the Pale

We stray beyond the pale,

beyond the failsafe

Narrow escape, authorised access

Beyond the pale,

beyond the failsafe

Looking in from the outside

Appealing resistance to equality

As we fall by the wayside

Producing our offspring

in captivity

Looking out from the inside

Accessing wreckage

from powers that be

The effects of a landslide

No financial gain

to restore poverty

We live behind the rules,

we are the living proof

Machines are set in constant

motion without an indication

of emotion

The medium creates the wave,

with the potential to enslave

We're dominated by the pull and so much easier to rule

Unprecedented need,

the tools are in demand

Machines are set in constant

motion without an indication

of emotion

Obviously feeding on the plains

An independent sinister exchange

Bombarded by a placid

neutral stance

Developing without

a second glance

Beyond the pale

The surface tension

is venting fast

Another social violation

Closing the space on

the present and past

We live beyond the pale
