striking back for the last
|
heart attack
|
first you tip the scale
|
then they tip it back
|
this escalating trend
|
will never end
|
if they take from you
|
then you take from them
|
|
with less concern
|
for what is fair
|
to an unconsidered
|
blame you bear
|
this escalating trend
|
will never end,
|
if they take from you...
|
you take from them again
|
|
waking up from a dream into another day
|
never taking to heart all of the words they say
|
it so hard to believe if you never see
|
that the truth is split on the in-between
|
waking up from your dream into another day
|
never taking to heart all of the words they say
|
it so hard to believe because the truth is this:
|
what hatred breeds you must resist
|
|
Who was the first
|
and who was the last
|
did you count yourself
|
Or omit the past
|
this basic concept
|
begins again
|
when your actions flow
|
from the hate within?
|
|
I don't understand
|
why do you try
|
to make hatred and intolerance seem justified
|
I don't understand your prejudice and lies
|
tear down your ignorance open your eyes
|
|
if the heart is rich
|
then what you think you are
|
in your core beliefs
|
should not become a sword
|
this basic concept
|
is where it ends...
|
if you close your heart
|
then you begin again
|
|
I don't understand
|
why do you try
|
to make hatred and intolerance seem justified
|
I don't understand your prejudice and lies
|
tear down your ignorance open your eyes
|
|
waking from your dream state
|
waking to the truth
|
