Within the walls of a crumbling world

I am broken and I am shattered,

But you can’t see the pieces, I believe you don’t, you can’t

You only see me as a ghost in your void

And you still try to tell me who I am, who I’m supposed to be

You can’t even see yourself, for who you really are, in the mirror,

I believe you don’t, you can’t,

You’ve refused to see the demons in disguise

You’ve convinced yourself of the pretty big lie.

Your aims, dreams and fears, merely drugs they’ve sold you,

To keep you overdosed and blind, at the cost of souls and lives,

Too bad, too sad, you’ve snuffed too much of it

Too late, too wretched, you’ve lost too much hope of freedom

You wish, you prey, you preach to the world,

Yet too scared, too alarmed, too deep in the swamp of blissful selfishness

You refuse to take action, you refuse to rise above

You puny mother fucker, wake up, make your stand

Nothing is standing in your way, but you

Accept the destiny shoved down your throat or make one of your own,

Stand by what you believe in or convince yourself you don’t,

Set your will, either choose to stand up or shut up and walk away,

Quit painting everything in a comforting grey

Do yourself a favor; quit lying, to others, to your pitiful self,

And know that your defeat was the fault of your own

Or kill the demons that they’ve chained to your soul,

Those demons that haunt you, shape you, control you,

You’ve really let those demons eat your soul to the core, for way too fucking long

You aren’t what they shape and make you be, make you believe

Its just the virus they’ve planted deep in your being, destroy

Demons can only breed within till you hold them in, let go

Shut out the ones who don’t understand, the ones who shove it down your throat

It is your future, it is everyones future,

That you are a part of, that you are held responsible of,

Open your eyes, break free your locked up mind

Know that you are strong, countless millions strong, that you are all,

Who were, who are, and who will be

Fight for your rights, for everyone’s rights, escape your cage, this prison, the downfall…
