Unity or Death
I’ve been racking my brain
For a few good lines
Trying to find a way
To remember the good times
But if I’m being honest
I don’t know anymore
I’m just doing my best
Not to end up dead on the floor
All of these words
Are just a wall between
What I’m trying to say
And what I really mean
Why live in a world
That’s ugly and torn
Where your lot in life
Feels set when your born
But I’m not really blind
I see the light
But’s it hard to remember
When every day feels like a dark night
Why do I keep going
Why am I still here
I don’t really know that either
I guess I live out of fear
The endless hounding
Of my inner voice
Pushing me further
Not giving me a choice
Stuck in a state
Between living and dying
Can’t commit to either
But I swear that I’m trying
Every single thought
And the endless dreaming
All the times that I’ve fought
Against the endless screaming
Of the voice that tells me that I’m not enough
That I’m not worthy of being lucky or worthy of love
I’m sick of it all, I’m so damn tired
Of all of the dark temptations that have transpired
I guess what I mean
If I had to really say it
Is that I see the game
But I refuse to play it
I was always warned
About playing a rigged game
If the deck is stacked against us
We should just set it aflame
But hey, I know, easier said than done
But that doesn’t mean that we stop
And it doesn’t mean that they’ve won
We need to make this world
What we all really need
A place where we’re free
To be what we be
And not having to worry about having to bleed
I hope someone sees this
And I hope that you know
You’re not the only one that feels trapped
In the deep dark below
I see that you’re there
I’m extending a hand
Don’t let them all win
Because you’re better than they’ve ever been
