FEAR OF THE SWARM

They build walls of numbers
To pretend we are few
But we are river, we are swarm
We are more than their crazy coffers

That's why they teach you to be alone
That's why they compete for your time
A united people is the only
Nightmare of their penthouse

They are afraid of the swarm
Of the noise of a thousand voices together
They are afraid of a people that calls itself by name
And doesn't shut up in the face of questions

Alone, I am easy weakness
Alone, I am an account that closes
But in a pack, I am an avalanche
In a pack, none of their walls hold

That's why they teach you to be alone
That's why they compete for your time
A united people is the only
Nightmare of their penthouse

They are afraid of the swarm
Of the noise of a thousand voices together
They are afraid of a people that calls itself by name
And doesn't shut up in the face of questions

One for all they laugh
All for one, they tremble
This is not a threat
It's just the arithmetic they fear

They are afraid of the swarm
Of the buzzing that doesn't surrender
No throne resists the call
Of a people that finally understands itself

Swarm
Not herd
