Chaos teaches with the fist, Beats respect from our swollen lips. Losing control of the inner beast, Obsessed shades of red, the adrenaline feast. But the truth be told, freedom is never free. Bury the nightmares inside of our heads, Shut up the cries of the dead. We drink to forget, all of our regret. Overflow with alcohol. He grabs the nearest glass to pacify his shame. She grabs the sharpest blade to satisfy her pain, but We set fire to each other's branches, Not knowing that our roots are one and the same. The lion and the lamb dwelling in the same land. No fear nor hunger, as we walk hand in hand.

Everything that you do is a waste of time, And every time that we speak it’s a waste of mine. I read the words hiding between the lines, That’s where you’ll find the lies your tongue tries to hide. I’ve said more than I should say and I’ve chewed more than I can eat. I’ve got no time left to pray and I’m running without my feet. The damage has already been done and what’s done is done for all to see. The cat is out of the bag and the rabid dog is barking up the wrong tree. I read the words hiding between the lines, That’s where you’ll find the lies your tongue tries to hide. I’m the words hiding stuck in your throat, Spit me out before I die. This town ain’t big enough, For the two of us. Saddle up and leave our town, Ride the wide road into the sun Go drown in history as the liar that stole my heart. Everything you do is a waste of time, And every time that we speak it’s a waste of mine. Bite the dust and throw up mud. The trail you blazed is paved with blood. Yeah, you can hide but you can’t run from me. It seems that you’re a wanted man, stranger. There’s a bounty on your head. They said to bring you back alive, But I’d prefer to have you dead. Load your gun, it’s high noon. This showdown will be over soon.

Across my path, still and completely motionless. A song that makes no sound, melody of the lifeless. Where on the sidewalk lies, a crumpled pile of bloody feathers. Sadness dwells in the eyes, a soul captive by earthen tethers. Stretch out your broken wing, To the dawn where you first did sing. Collect your feathers your shattered bones. Rejoice for dawn has come, sing out with an unborn tone. Old black crow why did you leave me? I want to be with you, and I want you to be free. Old black crow open your crooked beak. I want to feel guilty when I hear you speak. I will lift your body from the cracks in the cold icy stone. As I lower your broken form beneath the ground, And lay to rest your legacy underneath a dirt mound. I question every breath that escapes from my lungs. We cannot change the past, what’s done cannot be made undone. I'm so sorry for everything, everything I never told you. If I could go back, I’d show your wings skies they never knew. ...Never knew. Give us back the fire that we've lost. Lay to rest the fears that haunt us most. We cannot save those who are already dead. The earth fills in the grave I’m in. Who are we to live, and who are they to die? They may not deserve life, but who are we to decide? The earth fills in the grave I'm in.

Steady… Steady… Steady… Now! Let them come a little closer, To divide the weak from the prey. The general will fall upon his bayonet, And the young will dig their own graves. We never said we’d keep silent, We never promised to behave. We refuse to praise your violence. Your bullets won’t keep you safe. Brace yourselves. We won’t go back home. You’re not welcome here. Your words are poison. We can smell your fear. Your words are venomous and taste like hell. We’ve heard enough of what you preach. Don’t pretend like you speak for God, When your tongue slithers and squirms like a leach. We won’t go silently. We are a family. We know what you are. We’ve heard this song before, We know the melody. We see the chains in store, For those bound in your slavery. We never said we’d keep silent, We never promised to behave. We refuse to praise your violence, Your bullets won’t keep you safe. One and one does not make three, your words are killing me. You and me could never be for now or for eternity, Every breath that you release is filled with hate and vanity. You and me could never be for now or for eternity. We won’t go silently. We are a family.

Here we go again, running your mouth in circles. You want to say whatever you want to say, You want to do whatever you want to, But eventually every debt has to be paid. When every choice you make catches up to you We are not your slaves and you're not our God. So please learn to behave and be careful when you talk. You want to destroy everyone in your way. Shut up the voices that don’t agree with you. But you should listen to what the flowers have to say, They purify the air that you constantly pollute. Do not ignore the lion’s roar. We are not your slaves and you're not our God. Please learn to behave and be careful when you talk. This mirror is so awful at listening to what I have to say, and it reflects all of my failures as clear as the light of day. Have I been screaming at myself this whole time? Because all of the ghosts are eating away inside of my mind. I keep turning the page, but they all look the same inside of my brain. Looking for the door of this emotional and spiritual cage. But I can't escape from the man whose eyes are on fire burning with rage I try to find clear air to breathe drowning at the bottom of the deep blue sea, But I can’t breathe with you choking me. I try to find clear air to breathe drowning at the bottom of the deep blue sea, But I can’t breathe with you standing on me. I tried so damn hard to be everything that you wanted me to be, But I just want you to be happy and I desperately need to be free. I tried so damn hard to fake everything that you wanted me to make, But I'm running out of ways for you to make my heart break. Enjoy your stay, Do what we say, Shut your mouth, Eat what we kill for you.

I don’t know who I really am and I don’t know what I need. But there has to be a reason my heart continues to bleed. Is this the cross I must bare? Or is this the coffin that we all share? Buried alive by all our fears. I am afraid...
7.
...I’m afraid of the name carved above my grave. Inside every man every woman and every child, Lies a hungry lion waiting to be king of the wild. The venom inside my tongue, locked behind my broken teeth, But I’m afraid of what I’ll say, if I release the lion beneath. Is this a nightmare, or is this the cross I must bare? Buried beneath my skin, my self control is wearing thin. I feel so selfish for always thinking of myself first. I pray the problem doesn’t grow any worse. I count my sins and hope that God has enough grace. I’ve come so far, but I don’t know if I have enough strength. Our human condition is to blame for complacency, But it’s our decision to revel in our negativity. Maybe I’ve lost my mind, but I scream at ghosts to pass the time. Not a single one of them gives me the time of day, and even if they would, I know exactly what they’d say. “What’s the point in asking so many questions? Stitch on your mask and join our collection. Stand up straight and get into line. You are a clone by your own design.” I’m not a slave to my grave.
