Shifting Gears

Split apart and broken back bones
Like castle teeth on open wounds, you leave me here with no choice
I can't do this again
Check off your list of names and open up my cage
This country fools the reader as the martyr for our gain and oh we try
Integrity through labor, the one thing that you hate
Oh please I try to live again
Roads untraveled were created
This pavement hurts my feet
You lack attention to your own trail
Oh please spare me the rest
The rifle is up and loaded through words and common speeches
Don't mistake devotion for your visions of our different love
As we all know, the river's violence flows
Uncertainty in residence hold in your breath for more in metal doors

But oh, my voice resides here, encased with endless tries of fallen monarchies
But oh, these smoke stacks grow with me
Machines in industry to tend your dreams

Rooftops guard our close belongings
As nature has its way, I take your golden apples
Quiet now and liberate me and let me out again
Prowling streets like savages increase your paranoia
Increase your anger but please don't blame my genetics
Parallel lines never meet but have such great intentions
Rationally and equally aligned, never needing to collide
