Why are we so quick to label
So quick to sort each other out
Like change spread out on the table
I am a fuckin wave of the sea
I have no religion
so why does your judgement affect me?
take these knives out my mind
release this mental strain
So much struggle
Guess it's time to bring down the rain
How many times must we be forced to live in a question
be like this and like that
I'm so sick of that word, suggestion
it is amazing the impact of someone's wordsboth good and bad
a second can you turn from happy to sad
Feeling alone to glad
I Don't need your approval
I know I'm good
we live in this free world
that walks under a hood
I'm tired of that
break free of these chains
knock down these walls with my mental bat
These thoughts turned to bullets
Ready to shoot down these nightmares
rat a tat tat
And you just never know
the limits of a person
how long they got until they blow
This is not a playful game
No broadway show
So think of the message you want to send
Because some people may be a lot closer....to the end
Some people are fed up
ready to break because they spent too long.. trying to bend
