Don't Need a Reason - Downpresser

Don’t need a reason to feel like I do

Don’t need a reason, but I’ve still got a few

Don’t need a reason, don’t need advice

From trash in the gutter on the road to paradise

I carry grudges that are older than time

The burden breaks my back, leaves me blind and paralyzed

Forgiveness is a virtue and pride is a sin

But neither one has saved me from the mess I’m in

Corrupted institutions

With violent solutions

Revel in agony and moral decline

War without terms

Food for the worms

Things are just fine

I owe a debt that I can never repay

A sacred allegiance I can never betray

I’ve stumbled and I’ve fallen but I will not stray

Don’t need a reason to scream for a change

Hand over fist

Blissful ignorance

When the train runs off the tracks

How else should I react?

I’m not a victim but I’m not a crook

Don’t give me a reason or a second look
