Us

Wake up
Wake up

What the fuck is this?
Feels like I walked across a precipice
To exist inside smoke and mist
The twist is this is my reality
And sadly, I've been tricked

This ain't life, right?
'Cause it ain't right
People claimin' right to rights
About as long as they can write
And if you fight, good night
Behind a line of iron bars, hard floors
Locked doors and don't forget the mental scars

We exist in ignorance bliss that's also joined by sorrow
We run upon this hollow world to fight to see tomorrow
The 'morrow comes, we feel the same and hope that change comes soon
But it doesn't, shit, now what am I s'posed to do?
I'm confused, my country's committee distracts eyes from the truth
It's name is US and despite the name, it don't care If you lose soul, craft, gold, laugh
And I suppose all those other things people hold akin to gold
Making them predisposed to be controlled, but can't let go of, but let go US

US, I do not want you
This is my home too

US, I do not want you
This is my home too

So guess I gotta move immovable objects to rearview
Become unstoppable, let loose the force US brandished on my hue
Then take the force further, didn't come here to stalemate
I'm charged up off all the hate, so these foundations I will break
Even if my life it takes, I will not hesistate, the state of these states is what is at stake
The people's lives US make, who lie in lines that drawn but fake
Oops, my mistake, can't look behind eyes

For minds awake if US got lids closed
Fuck their plea, fuck the toll
Fuck a poll, I'll shine so bright, US overexposed
I'll never stop (to stop now is to essentially die living)
I'm too hot
(Living in the estate of this country is to be in a constant state of rage)
And just in case you forgot
And I'll never let you forget

US, I do not want you
This is my home too
US, I do not want you
This is my home too
