| Silver tongues and paper towns
|
| Their whispers are as loud as an elephant
|
| Find the balance between you and I
|
| They want my head above the mantle like a trophy
|
| They earned it
|
| Well come and get it
|
| I bet we both look the same
|
| Lying in a coffin
|
| Only here on borrowed time
|
| Why don’t you get up off me
|
| Hate me
|
| Not for who I am but what you see
|
| Take me
|
| Not by what you see but what lies underneath
|
| I’ve been torn limb from limb so many times
|
| I’ve lost the feeling in my fingers
|
| And the focus in my eyes
|
| Where is the justice
|
| When there’s so many of us
|
| I said where is the justice
|
| When there is so many of us
|
| There are so many walks of life to choose
|
| You think you know me by my looks
|
| You don’t know what I’ve been through
|
| Hate me
|
| Not for who I am but what you see
|
| Take me
|
| Not by what you see but what lies underneath
|
| They show us that it’s ugliness within them
|
| But our only purpose is living a life full of freedoms
|
| They tell us we’re an abomination of nations
|
| They’re showing us many choices
|
| And fighting hard to freeze them
|
| You can’t believe them as far as you teach them
|
| So they ignore all of the core parts of our reason
|
| Give them a good song they tell you
|
| «You did wrong»
|
| Criticizing your very life till you want to delete it
|
| But I’m the same as you
|
| Put my clothes on the same way you do
|
| But you’re too judgmental
|
| You wanna see me change
|
| Clothes
|
| Political views
|
| And religious intentions
|
| To make your life simple
|
| It’s really difficult to take people serious
|
| When every thought’s delirious
|
| And nothing’s there to lift you
|
| To keep you dependent’s
|
| The mission they’re given
|
| You give them success every time
|
| You seem to share the same views
|
| So when do they lose?
|
| Is it when you’re reaching your limits
|
| Wanting to change everything about you?
|
| Or maybe it’s when you’re feeling it bubble within
|
| But in a violent rage
|
| You’re feeding the demons that crowd you
|
| Wait 'til they pound you
|
| For being bound to a better mind state
|
| What is the place that we can call «safety»
|
| I think my thoughts
|
| I live
|
| I walk
|
| I bleed
|
| I cry
|
| So why is it hard for you
|
| To take me as I am
|
| This is an anthem
|
| To anyone that’s cast aside
|
| This is an anthem
|
| It’s bigger than just you and I
|
| (hate me)
|
| The voices scream and shout
|
| But I can’t hear a sound
|
| I can feel their eyes like daggers
|
| (take me)
|
| This is an open book
|
| It’s never let me down
|
| The light won’t be on when you’re locked out
|
| This is an anthem
|
| It’s bigger then just you and I |
