Take Control

How am I to accept this is the way things should be?
conditioned from the start to put blind trust in all authorities
But morality is not determined
by your laws by your beliefs
and you've made it all too clear
it's not your burden to protect the weak, to protect the oppressed
nah you're only concerned with, protecting yourself
a corrupted system
fueled by greed
enforced by for profit prisons
they'll teach you not bite the hand that feeds
you use scare tactics, spread misinformation
corrupt our youth with propaganda filled education
full on power trip, a nation led by dollar bills
moral-less at the top
accepting cash for kids
filling up your pockets
filling up your prisons
filling up yourself with all your greedy ambitions
controlling us all

Like the flowers in this vase
left to rot and all turn grey
there's no place
for them, for me
pick them up but they wont make you happy
cast out, thrown out
glass shatters black water soaks the ground
beneath my feet
I can't decay, the way I did
when I was lost and thrown away
I can't look back
cause moving on from pain is all I've ever had
lost love, but not faith
one day I'd emerge from all my hate
and find the love that I had lost
a desire just to quit
run away, dwell, and sink
but my bitterness
led me to loneliness
left me with emptiness
until I had nothing left
I had nothing left
so tell me all about how music saved your life
call me corny as fuck but I know enough
to know without this I'd be rotting in a closed casket
and I owe it all to a 50 cap room in Tampa
full of faces I'd never seen before
sweat in my eyes ears shot mouth dry
the first day in two years time
I hadn't thought about taking my own life
cause I'm not alone
and you're not alone
I'm not alone, you're not alone
we're not alone
show me what love is
this love you give is all I have
let me show you what love is
this love I give is all I have

Fear Mongers

Humanity turns it's back on the sickest things
disregard fifteen thousand and counting
separated from their families
to protect the "land of the free"
and the home of the twisted fucks
who won't lose any sleep
numb enough to accept
the death of a couple dozen children in captivity
a nation built on hate, lies, and slavery
taken from it's indigenous people
stripped of their identities
you say you want to go back?
to exactly what point in our history?
cause there's not a point in time
this country was anything
but fucking shameful
your "non-violent" protests with tiki torches
your hateful speeches and lack of morals
used red hats to replace white hoods
politics like burning crosses in back woods
fear
mongers
fear mongers
let me paint you a picture
you're seven years old trapped in a cage with nothing
but confusion, what did you do to deserve this hate?
your parents are gone, your sister is dead
you're too young for this trauma now you're fucked in the head
what did you do to deserve this?
treated like less than a person
no one deserves this fate
no child deserves this hate
how do you sleep?
how do you dream?
how is your lack of compassion, not sickening?

Love

Time slows everyday is a struggle
just to get out of bed, just to stay out of my head
I live through temporary moments of ease
but nothing sticks the pain won't cease
and I won't feel a piece of mind until I have a metallic taste
on the tip of my tongue
standing at the edge of the ledge but I don't have it in me to make the jump
most days I wish I had the strength but right now I'm kind of happy I don't
cause my friends are here for me
they have my back and make sure I don't fucking leave
and through all my hopelessness
I know their love persists
I'm undeserving
undeserving of a wind beneath my wings
I don't deserve this
but I trust that they know, I'd do the same for them
they make me feel, like I belong here
I hope I make them feel, like they belong
oh brother can you hear me screaming out
I've been waiting a long time to tell you
how much you mean
such a colossal failure
I'm fucking sorry for everything
check up on your friends
check up on your loved ones
check up on yourself
and even when everything's alright
keep them close and by your side
cause it's not too long
before this crooked world takes everything you love
let them know you love them
let them know you love them
let them know you love
they make me feel, like I belong here
I hope I make them feel, like they belong
