Mumbai Attacks and the Indian Youth

I was watching interviews of some young people in the aftermath of the Mumbai attacks on ndtv... their frustration and pathos towards their leaders and politicians was overwhelming. My empathy towards them resonates in this track which I must have heard five times already just now.

(Stigmata by Ministry)

Stronger than reason
Stronger than lies
The only truth I know
Is the look in your eyes
The look in your eyes!

Just like a car crash
Just like a knife
My favourite weapon
Is the look in your eyes
Youve run out of lies!

Youve run out of lies!
Youve run out of lies!
Youve run out of lies!
Youve run out of lies!
Youve run out of lies!
Youve run out of lies!
Theres a ton locked in your empty eyes
Get out of my life!

Im chewing on glass
And eating my fingers
Im not the one
Whos run out of lies
Lies!

Youve run out of lies!
Youve run out of lies!
Youve run out of lies!
Youve run out of lies!
Youve run out of time!

Cutting my face
And walking on splinters
I lost my soul
To the look in your eyes
Your eyes!

You ran out of lies!
You ran out of lies!
You ran out of lies!
You ran out of time!

Stigmata!

O, you have empty eyes!...
They tell me nothing, nothing but lies
