Yet another day
Still no cost to pay
Pain won't go away
Exhaustion takes its place
Foes share the same face
Image you can't erase
I know it's hard
Weights on the heart
I'll stand by you
We'll coalesce our angered fists
No ceiling in view
When did we begin to believe fiction
Facts now hard to pin
Challenge every thought
unlearn what you're taught
We will not be bought
My friend, I am nothing like you
I gotta make em pay
They gotta see the truth
I refuse to talk it out
Burn down their house with them tied to the couch
I'm on my knees
Look into my eyes please tell me what you see
There will be no peace
Don't wanna hear em speak
I need to need em bleed
If to be heard is to be seen then give em hell
Cause before long, a message strong, history will tell
Before long, the fear dissipates
Before long, you've pushed us too far
This system we'll break.
