Balance

I, born without a prejudice
We're taught to think and feel
What happened to experience, is any of this real, who could even tell?
I am alone and ready to transcend this mud
Close your eyes and feel me, reach out beyond
Everything you build around me
You can't console me
You can try to control me, but you stand in my way, and stand no chance
I'm alone and ready to transcend this mud
Reach out and breathe slowly, I will not run
I come from your heart, let me change your world
Weigh me on a scale and no side prevails
Snails pace, internalized screams, I hear them suffering from tight lips and fossilized cheeks
How can I, so young, be so wise to never turn a brown eye to my brothers on their last legs?
Nothing should divide us... Nothing should decide for us: Where we end up when someone finds us
Pieces of my heart will rebuild my walls, when you see me now, you'll see what you've caused
Now my red-carpet spills, from the blood of your kill
My dead carcass fills, to the brim with filth
That medal strung from you, the fragments of balance you think you bring? You mean nothing
You don't mean peace, nor solace, nor a goddamn moral fucking thing
Listen here, you're standing in the middle of a scale with your guns pointed
At the people balancing you there
