"Omelas" by Amanda Sukenick (With help by ChatGPT ; D) 
Ukulele & vocals Performed by Rei - Thank you!! 
Dedicated to Matti Häyry, without whom none of this would be possible.

In the dark, underneath
I'm the child they hide beneath their feet 
Locked away from the world's sweet song 
From womb to tomb, but I don't belong

Do they know the price they pay 
For their joy, each and every day
I'm the one they've chosen to ignore 
Sacrificed behind this hidden door

Chorus:
Omelas, Omelas, city of delight 
Omelas, Omelas, but for me, it's an endless night
Omelas, Omelas, a burden, a hidden stain
Omelas, Omelas, in the shadows, I'll remain

I dream of nothing, of broken chains 
Escaping the darkness, where suffering reigns
But in Omelas, our destiny is sealed
Trapped in this cycle, our voices concealed

No more, no more, let the cycle end
It’s no more suffering that we must defend 
Forced into existence, against our will
Omelasian children, let’s make an end

Chorus

Bridge:
Every constructive eruption
Feeds the collective seduction 
But I’ll cause a destructive disruption 
One day end this procreative corruption

And so friends, let the cycle end 
It’s no more suffering, that we must defend 
Omelasian children, lets walk away 
There’s no need for another day

To those who dare, to truly care, why create, this despair
