1.
The line is shoved through (us), we lost who we were. Below the bottom, our worth begins to blur Lick our wounds though they’ll never heal Kiss the feet of our captors for which we kneel We only accept the love we think we deserve We bite the pain we believe that we have earned Pardon the world and its laws Despite its people and flaws Anchored by shackles and ravaged by its claws The line erodes, we pushed ourselves aside We live the rot, we begin to eat the lie We never thought we’d fall so far behind Drag our knuckles in our own blood wasting time Desperately dusting old bones In a room full of corpses alone This skin was meant to be Outgrown. We can’t go on.
2.
Every step is pain Every slightest gesture is agony Muscles rend and bones break The sight of the bolt or the blade The blood of suffering As you cart off your dead pray the sky you’re not inside As souls drip from your lips-rejoice Take turns holding the knife Cycle of suffering A tear in their eye As they watch those before them hanging from the sky Fell to the floor Soul rot Writhing in someone else’s blood Violent execution The greatest solitude Your acquiescence screaming on the floor Feel the ghosts Smell the burnt flesh rising Carve your code We are not who we were The sight of the bold of the blade The watchful eye ignored As you cart off your dead pray the sky you’re not inside As souls drip from your lips-rejoice Take turns holding the knife
3.
A boot on your neck A grin across your teeth “That’s the way its always been” Knuckles white and blistered Spit blood and sweat As hours turn to regret A thin veil of freedom hides a scripted existence Born free until feet touch concrete Constructed conformity Lick the heels of castigation Suppression, a birthright to be Gagged by a star strangled banner Piss away autonomy god lives in the law and the law lives in us all god lives in the law and the law lives in us all Inherent dominance procures the status quo So deep beyond the bars Underneath it live the wretches of consequence Rattle the cages (god lives in the law) god lives in the walls of this broke down palace Man and god decline These walls exclude but these walls confine
