Country Folk
I struggle to breath, the skin of my teeth
Getting by cuz I wear my disguise
Suffocate within, walls keep closing in
Try to live but I barely survive
Chasing the person in front of me
Chasing the people stuck in the same loop
Neighbor verse neighbor
Tear apart my family over someone I did not choose
The success we assume if I have more than you
A wealth contingent on your misfortune
The problems we abhor, we blame each other for
We divided and conquered ourselves
I'm running stuck in place
Nowhere to go, on my own
I'm bleeding, receding
Falling away, all alone
Next to people just like you and me
Living life so comfortably
Every day so worry free
Every day my misery
Ingrained bias, conditioned to hate
Told be quiet to indoctrinate
I'm living beneath, too exhausted to think
I'm not dying I'm being murdered
Outside looking in at the chosen within
Days and nights are beginning to blue
Counting the minutes while I'm on the clock
Helping serve my own subjugation
Thinking I'm winning when I'm merely slowing down my own asphyxiation
Empty grocery stores, always needing more
Look out for myself - fuck you
Take it all for me, hoarding everything
Every person for themself - fuck you
I'm running stuck in place
Nowhere to go, on my own
I'm bleeding, receding
Falling away, all alone
Next to people just like you and me
Living life so comfortably
Every day so worry free
Every day my misery
Ingrained bias, conditioned to hate
Told be quiet to indoctrinate
I often drift when I drive, fatal thoughts of suicide
Designed to break our will, doesn't matter if we're dead or alive
There is no fucking middle ground
With someone who thinks that your life doesn't count
If we want this to change we tear down everything
Cuz there is more than codified evil
Built by broken people
Pierce the veil of reason
Take back stolen freedom
Getting by cuz I wear my disguise
Suffocate within, walls keep closing in
Try to live but I barely survive
Chasing the person in front of me
Chasing the people stuck in the same loop
Neighbor verse neighbor
Tear apart my family over someone I did not choose
The success we assume if I have more than you
A wealth contingent on your misfortune
The problems we abhor, we blame each other for
We divided and conquered ourselves
I'm running stuck in place
Nowhere to go, on my own
I'm bleeding, receding
Falling away, all alone
Next to people just like you and me
Living life so comfortably
Every day so worry free
Every day my misery
Ingrained bias, conditioned to hate
Told be quiet to indoctrinate
I'm living beneath, too exhausted to think
I'm not dying I'm being murdered
Outside looking in at the chosen within
Days and nights are beginning to blue
Counting the minutes while I'm on the clock
Helping serve my own subjugation
Thinking I'm winning when I'm merely slowing down my own asphyxiation
Empty grocery stores, always needing more
Look out for myself - fuck you
Take it all for me, hoarding everything
Every person for themself - fuck you
I'm running stuck in place
Nowhere to go, on my own
I'm bleeding, receding
Falling away, all alone
Next to people just like you and me
Living life so comfortably
Every day so worry free
Every day my misery
Ingrained bias, conditioned to hate
Told be quiet to indoctrinate

Designed to break our will, doesn't matter if we're dead or alive
There is no fucking middle ground
With someone who thinks that your life doesn't count
If we want this to change we tear down everything
Cuz there is more than codified evil
Built by broken people
Pierce the veil of reason
Take back stolen freedom
