I bought myself a sandbox
Somewhere I can bury my head
I’m tryna make the voices stop
Don’t wanna hear what they said
They told me there’s a brand new Holocaust
They asked if I’d be takin’ a stand
I said I’d rather keep my world small
So I keep to myself
You know I gotta turn my mind off
Just so I can sleep in my bed
I’m gonna let my brain rot
Ignore the blood on my hands
I never wanted the truth, I only wanted the peace
Why bother watching the news? It’s not what I want to see
There’s nothing that I can do until it happens to me
Until it happens to me
– Moon Walker, “Sandbox”
I know a few songs that make me feel ashamed every time I listen, an indictment of my inaction, the peace I manufacture for myself. This is one of those.
