Mistakes so unfixable
I have to change my path
How I ponder if I’ll ever detour back
This new light seems so hard to reach
What will I have to do to achieve determination to clear every obstacle?
What will I have to do?
These new challenges will come with new solutions
A new look on what’s in front of me
And what is to come
Will I see clearly?

An impressionable society persuaded by false hopes
They portray their vision of happiness
I will not be fooled
They think they can set the bar on what’s acceptable
Setting standards with ads and propaganda
Manipulating images to set the standards to high
I will not be fooled
It’s heartbreaking to see generations buy in
It leaves such a bitter taste in my mouth
Feeding off lies and misinformation like a rat in a cage
It’s heartbreaking to see generations standing on the edge
Would you jump if they did?
I know you would
Feeding off lies and misinformation like a rat in a cage
Like a rat in a cage

I dust off, but these scars on my hands
and these smudges on my clothes
will keep evident of the consequences

You don’t see who I am, you see who I was.
Realizing, I’ve been doing the same for you.
If we are defined by what we do,
then why am I being constantly judged on what I’ve done.
We grow and change.
We stand for different things.
Isn’t that what learning’s about?
My comprehension of this entity grows rapidly.
Must I be tested daily to show how much I’ve gained?
Why the fuck am I constantly tested.
I stand, I fall, I stand again.
I dust off, but these scars on my hands
and these smudges on my clothes
will keep evident of the consequences.
I know you can see the red past on my hands
Can you see what these hands built since then?

Marking this new land as a place of freedom
Could our ancestors ever imagine where we are now
These structures have grown to unstable proportions
We can fix this but only through unity
“Those that can give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety
Deserve neither liberty nor safety”
I do not need you to tell me what is best
We should work to protect our community
Not control it
We must restore liberty

When I gaze into the heavens
It sinks in how rare our existence truly is
A phenomenon of this universe
My being, our being, is a magnificent thing
These conditions we bestow upon each other are never ending
(How can we change?)
Has our history developed an empire that we no longer control?
(How can we change?)
Between where I stand and the stars above,
Where can I make my home?
Where can I make my peace?
I do not believe this empire represents the true potential
of you, of me, or of us

Finding truth today seems impossible
Imaginations have run wild with excuses
Covering up the truths they fear we'll be unapproved
Or to hide evil actions
Lying has become the easy way out
Take responsibility and own up to what you’ve done
Deceitful ways have left us lost (have left us lost)
When we all can be honest
We can live in a world of truth
But until then we live in a world of lies and hate (of lies and hate)
Conspiracies tearing nations
Cheating and destroying families
Leaving us unable to trust our fellow man
Don’t you fucking test me
