Legacy

Legacy The things you did to pass the time Before you died Tradition The things you do to mask the trauma You endured as a child Culture The thing we think sets us apart Though we're one in the same Religion The thing that ties the blindfold tight So we can't feel the pain We can't stop now For the fear we feel Is just too real But we hope somehow That we will live on Though we're too far gone To see it now Reality A thousand times beyond what you perceive Inside your mind Addiction The way you fight to mask the trauma You endured as a child Justice A system full of thieves who really think They uphold the name Contrition The way you get away with the harm You cause everyday We can't stop now For the fear we feel Is just too real But we hope somehow That we will live on Though we're too far gone We can't stop now Though we feel the fear That the end is near But we hope somehow That we will live on Though we're too far gone To see it now A vulture is not a human who preys on the weak A pig is not an officer who beats you down and beats you A rat is not someone who cares only for himself A weasel is not someone who would turn his back on you A sheep is not someone who follows without a clue This is intrinsically human This is human We can't stop now For the fear we feel Is just too real But we hope somehow That we will live on Though we're too far gone We can't stop now Though we feel the fear That the end is near But we hope somehow That we will live on Though we're too far gone To see it now
