I tear at my face
Screaming at my hate
Leaving a life I can no longer embrace
Fuck this world
Fuck this slavery
Serving it in a place of shared but unfair bravery
With no choice, a shattered voice
And a sound louder than any noise
Could ever make
Is this heaven, for heaven’s sake
I rip out my eyes
But my memory lights my view
In a world that makes the healthy sick
A spec of dust, enough to make the sick spew
And so what I just can’t see
Is this the man-made place I want too often to forever leave
But it’s my world too, and it just won’t let its people free
This is not humanity, can’t you all see
I am drowning in a black hole’s existence
Evil thoughts become even more persistent
And so this hate is what makes me more resistant
And so sleep that as a child seemed possible, just now isn’t
Fuck you too, if you don’t want to heal this home
Fuck you too, you’re the reason we sink and just can’t move on
I whisper with one voice, alone and scared
I scream in the company of billions, fueled and prepared
I will not lay wrapped in stained in sheets, on a cold bed
I will no longer wait to be caged like an animal that is forever deprived but fed
My eyes heal themselves
The blood in my veins makes my throat swell
And all I can do is scream to get out of this hell
I feel like I’m living on cracking egg shells
For I am one man of many suffering in a life
For I am one human of many, suffering sin’s strife
Raise your arms and drop the knife
You can stop you, but you will not stop life
Our home is the reason we sometimes do break
And so a better world I choose to now make
But first I’ll rip out my eyes
Because to be a man I must, no longer, wish to die
I must stand strong, and dare not begin to cry
I must stand honest, and not live this world’s lie
