Give & Take -

For what it’s worth I

Prayed for you and sought the counsel

Of the wise men from the east

But you set your sights on burning bridges

If time is so precious

Why is it something that we’re always trying to kill?

I’m at opposing ends of the beast

Where empathy meets will

Take your life

Back from those who would

Place you on a scale and measure

Wasted youth

Bare the noose

You’re as guilty as those you condemn

Man your post

Fix your eyes

You’ve been kept in the company of cynics

We are not, a dead culture

Bound to earth by inanity

Revolt

Revolt

I’ve been trying to shake this off, but I can’t

It keeps coming back, we keep coming back to

Look for progress in this walk, but there is none

It keeps coming back, we keep coming back to

Revolt

Revolt

I’ve been trying to shake this off, but I can’t

It keeps coming back, we keep coming back to

Look for progress in this walk, but there is none

It keeps coming back, we keep coming back to

This is not a call to arms

It’s a call to lay them down

No comfort, no martyr, no saint, you pushed my face in the dirt

And I have watched you grow

You were meant for so much more

Than these hurtful things you’ve brought as weapons

I am the final hope of my people

My daughter’s eyes

They guide me home

We made a promise in youth to be steadfast

This conflict pierces me to my bones

My walk must now change
