Awake
Well first of all I'd like to say
That I'm happy I'm here
But second of all
I'd like to explain
Why I'm so pissed off
There's no reason why things like this
Have gotten so bad
Except for ignorance
And a willingness to neglect
Your fellow man
You see them as less
I wouldn't be the same
If it wasn't those who made me
It wasn't one
It wasn't two
And it wasn't twenty
It was a thousand little pieces
Broken in a million shards
Scattered throughout life
And tearing me apart
She's awake
She can breath
She will fight
But she needs
You to help
You to see
You must be
The best
You can be
It isn't fair
There must be some way
That we can right these wrongs
The shadow from a former life
Are inherited to the next one
Whether or not you notice that
I don't care
It is the truth
Look to the graves
While their souls are forgotten
What they've done lives on
If you're not picking up what I'm putting down
I'm saying that
Eternal life is a thing in the most literal of ways
What do you think happens to your body when you die
What do you think happens to the ones you've effected once you're gone
You live on through them
We're awake
We can breath
We will fight
But we need
You to help
You to see
You must be
The best
You can be
It isn't fair
I'm awake
I can breath
I will fight
But I need
You to help
You to see
You must be
The best
You can be
That I'm happy I'm here
But second of all
I'd like to explain
Why I'm so pissed off
There's no reason why things like this
Have gotten so bad
Except for ignorance
And a willingness to neglect
Your fellow man
You see them as less
I wouldn't be the same
If it wasn't those who made me
It wasn't one
It wasn't two
And it wasn't twenty
It was a thousand little pieces
Broken in a million shards
Scattered throughout life
And tearing me apart
She's awake
She can breath
She will fight
But she needs
You to help
You to see
You must be
The best
You can be
It isn't fair
There must be some way
That we can right these wrongs
The shadow from a former life
Are inherited to the next one
Whether or not you notice that

If you're not picking up what I'm putting down

Eternal life is a thing in the most literal of ways
What do you think happens to your body when you die
What do you think happens to the ones you've effected once you're gone
You live on through them
We're awake
We can breath
We will fight
But we need
You to help
You to see
You must be
The best
You can be
It isn't fair
I'm awake
I can breath
I will fight
But I need
You to help
You to see
You must be
The best
You can be
