So much of who I am is rooted in confusion. From jump, it never really made sense. And the more I look in search of the answers, The harder they are to find. But I won't be left in the dark. Constantly pulled Between what I was taught And what I've come to learn. Those who taught me love Are swallowed whole by fear. They encourage growth, But haven't changed in years. You were a light that led the way for me. Tucked away behind tired eyes, I can see a glimpse of who you were. The love and peace you brought to my life Will never fade. It hurts so much to watch you lose your wonder And settle for the mundane. You're still here with me, But it's not the same.

Sell yourself out to your figure of choice. Adopt their doctrine, Speak with their voice. Sacrificing your agency Is the least that you could do. Gladly look the other way. Whatever price they give, You'd better pay. To the ones who inform your whole Point of view. No sense - of self No self - control The unrelenting flow It's never gonna slow Who needs the proof When you trust the source? You read the books, You took the course. Every answer you've sought has been given With such conviction. Same old - threat Social - death That knowing grin, You fell for it again. I know it's fun, Masquerading like you've found all the answers. I know the fear that you feel When you think you might be wrong. I know it's fun being the one who Points the finger. I know how it feels to be the one it prods.

Wake 02:28
Now you got All you wanted, Is life more beatiful? Damaged lives Left in the wake, But are you having fun? How many more Will have to suffer To fulfill you? How many boys Will grow to become bitter men Before you're through? The look inside My brother's eyes, At the mention of your name. You'll never face The pain you've caused And you'll never fucking change. On to the next one; Build your dynasty of broken homes, Add another knot to your hanging rope. Another slam of the door; Face is pressed to the floor. Now don't you feel big When you step to a kid? My inheritance: A warped world view. But I won't be anything like you. Held by your self-made chains, I'm proud I never carried your name.
