Wield Me, Or Kill Me

I feel like we're all

Just lost in the squall

Watching and waiting

For last call to fall

A world we've given up on

Though maybe that's just me

We're an army of sleepers

Listening to tyrants decree

I know some think it's wrong

To play the revolutionary song

But I don't think I can wait

Through this endless debate

Just to hope we can outlive

The pain and the hate

I'm a soldier without a war

Just trying to weather this storm

And I feel like it's better

To die on my feet

Then sit and die

While chained to my seat

I'm done trying to hide

This demon inside

I hope it's not forever

But I'm breaking the tether

And I can only hope

That it all comes together
