Forget the forefathers and the whore authors
War mongers, kick them on the floor like door stoppers
Remember the life lender, defender of a life better, whether or not he gets a
Signed letter
Everyone and everything's an enemy when
I can't see ahead of me like it's a human centipede
Envy, greed, mentally that's their pedigree
Deadly deeds, friendly fees it could only mean
Organized crime's been normalized to find
How could we not be demoralized in time
Magicians and fiction won't fix the friction from this attrition
Listen it's a given who cares if it's written
Onward, persist through the throes and move forward now, is this how it goes?
Forget all your opinions and table the asides
We're in this heap together
Now take a breath and realize it's a wonderful thing to be alive
Speak easy through these bars, right?
But it's a hard fight, hit by a hard right
Preach! You breach and leech the streets to free the beast
Each is left to scrape and screech just to get a plate to eat
Enough of the huff and puff, we've heard all of the fluff
And bluff so chuck all the loving tough, that crutch that you love to clutch
Claim your reign isn't a game, but only lame flock to your flame
Does the fame you gain tame the pain or was it all in vain?
Hear me loud and here me now as I nearly drown in this cheering crowd
Don't veer around or fear the crown, the hairs there
The nose goes, let's see a tear you clown
Onward, persist through the throes and move forward now, is this how it goes?
Forget all your opinions and table the asides
We're in this heap together
Now take a breath and realize it's a wonderful thing to be alive, right?
Time will tell was fine and well but now these minds will melt
