Silence is defeat (So fucking like you)

Turn the other cheek

Never content with giving into suffering unlike you

Unending resistance to spite you

Silence is defeat (So fucking like you)

Turn the other cheek

Never content with giving into suffering unlike you

Unending resistance to spite you

Feeling pushed to the edge of my wits

An emotional state between panic and pissed

I'm adrift

Suffocating my frustrations in a cage with no options

My whole life I've been a target

No more dreams they just want me erased

When we get hurt they don't see us

When we get cut they don't see blood

Take our style wanna be us

Wring us out they don't need us

Lock us down they don't free us

No more hope for myself

Won't grow up like a notch in a belt

Hit them where it hurts ain't a thought about it.

Silence is defeat (So fucking like you)

Turn the other cheek

Never content with giving into suffering unlike you

Unending resistance to spite you

Silence is defeat (So fucking like you)

Turn the other cheek

Never content with giving into suffering unlike you

Unending resistance to strike you down

Back up - submit - back down

You wanna drown us out - they only hear you?

You wanna beat us down so we can fear you?

Are we too damn loud?

Should we keep it down?

Asking too much for you to fucking care

Interrupt your peaceful lives

Not your problem, only mine

They just treat me as a walking target

Something smaller than a human being

Well honestly, you'll never understand the exhausting feeling

When waking up feels criminal

A poor excuse for being free

I need an excuse for being me

While you excuse me from the dream

And your excuse for always choosing to ignore my desperate screams

Well honestly you'll never understand the exhausting feeling

When waking up feels criminal

A poor excuse for being free

Stuck in a rut

Yo can you hear me or what?

I'm feeling desperate as fuck

Hungry for blood

People are hungry for love

You tell me when its enough

Does this look fun?

Do I look good in these chains?

Do I look good in these cuffs?

Foot on my neck while you're holding a gun

Foot on my neck while I scream for someone

Then I'll be gone

What will you say to my mom?

She's gotta bury her son

Killed me for what?

Kill me like some animal

Like a predator straight from the hunt

I need a drink

I need to sit down and think

You shouldn't fucking exist

I see your face and I ball up my fist

How would you feel if you lived in my skin, bitch?

I don't believe in change

The hands you dealt won't benefit me

Ignorance so deafening

I know my voice is everything

(Hate surrounds me everywhere this time)

Living in despair

I can't find my way

Why can't I exist?

Why am I to blame?

(It's all blinding - everything is fine)

I can't sit around while you take my life

You won't snuff me out

You won't take my life

(Desperate screams fall on deafened ears - it's not enough)

You will not go on taking what we have

I will not go home in a body bag

(And every single day we're moving forward

Every single day we're moving backward!)

You will not go on taking what we have

You will not go on taking what we have

You will not go on taking what we have

You will not go on taking what we have
