Lyrics
We spoke our minds too clearly We assumed fundamental rights were inherent Not as pawns but humyns I do not require a gauge for freedom of speech Cuz I never asked to be a citizen I never have and never will pledge allegiance Waking up each morning with confusion in my eyes The wind is biting through to wave "hello" Seeing my reflection, an exterior of lies I hope this shaky feeling doesn't show As if I had to tell you there was little left to say Stilted conversations colored blue You were sitting down and you got up to walk away I tried to stay but I was right behind you Tension in the stair, I cannot bear so close to helpless As this song I sing. inside me ring Final words are boring, never touch I know you whispered something in my ear I couldn't hear you Girls with the greenest eyes. the first time you have kissed Our quiet softest sighs A song for all of those who shot and missed Welcomed to this world, imputed identity Born, tagged, tattooed, pacified Generously bestowed my rights and privileges replete Arbitrary values ascribed There's nothing I can tell you. there's nothing I can say Stunted conversation, censored thought I'm completely free, at liberty, guaranteed Unless of course you decide I'm not But I'll not be resigned to, fall in line behind you Tension in the air I cannot bear So what the fuck am I accomplishing? absolutely nothing All these words are boring, it's time for action But you've taught me to be a pawn It won't last for long Those who see through the lies are quickly gagged and bound Ambition realized, tear the whole fucking thing down
