Fencewalker
Silence is defeat (So fucking like you)
Turn the other cheek
Never content with giving into suffering unlike you
Unending resistance to spite you
Silence is defeat (So fucking like you)
Turn the other cheek
Never content with giving into suffering unlike you
Unending resistance to spite you
Feeling pushed to the edge of my wits
An emotional state between panic and pissed
I'm adrift
Suffocating my frustrations in a cage with no options
My whole life I've been a target
No more dreams they just want me erased
When we get hurt they don't see us
When we get cut they don't see blood
Take our style wanna be us
Wring us out they don't need us
Lock us down they don't free us
No more hope for myself
Won't grow up like a notch in a belt
Hit them where it hurts ain't a thought about it.
Silence is defeat (So fucking like you)
Turn the other cheek
Never content with giving into suffering unlike you
Unending resistance to spite you
Silence is defeat (So fucking like you)
Turn the other cheek
Never content with giving into suffering unlike you
Unending resistance to strike you down
Back up - submit - back down
You wanna drown us out - they only hear you?
You wanna beat us down so we can fear you?
Are we too damn loud?
Should we keep it down?
Asking too much for you to fucking care
Interrupt your peaceful lives
Not your problem, only mine
They just treat me as a walking target
Something smaller than a human being
Well honestly, you'll never understand the exhausting feeling
When waking up feels criminal
A poor excuse for being free
I need an excuse for being me
While you excuse me from the dream
And your excuse for always choosing to ignore my desperate screams
Well honestly you'll never understand the exhausting feeling
When waking up feels criminal
A poor excuse for being free
Stuck in a rut
Yo can you hear me or what?
I'm feeling desperate as fuck
Hungry for blood
People are hungry for love
You tell me when its enough
Does this look fun?
Do I look good in these chains?
Do I look good in these cuffs?
Foot on my neck while you're holding a gun
Foot on my neck while I scream for someone
Then I'll be gone
What will you say to my mom?
She's gotta bury her son
Killed me for what?
Kill me like some animal
Like a predator straight from the hunt
I need a drink
I need to sit down and think
You shouldn't fucking exist
I see your face and I ball up my fist
How would you feel if you lived in my skin, bitch?
I don't believe in change
The hands you dealt won't benefit me
Ignorance so deafening
I know my voice is everything
(Hate surrounds me everywhere this time)
Living in despair
I can't find my way
Why can't I exist?
Why am I to blame?
(It's all blinding - everything is fine)
I can't sit around while you take my life
You won't snuff me out
You won't take my life
(Desperate screams fall on deafened ears - it's not enough)
You will not go on taking what we have
I will not go home in a body bag
(And every single day we're moving forward
Every single day we're moving backward!)
You will not go on taking what we have
You will not go on taking what we have
You will not go on taking what we have
You will not go on taking what we have
Turn the other cheek
Never content with giving into suffering unlike you
Unending resistance to spite you
Silence is defeat (So fucking like you)
Turn the other cheek
Never content with giving into suffering unlike you
Unending resistance to spite you
Feeling pushed to the edge of my wits
An emotional state between panic and pissed
I'm adrift
Suffocating my frustrations in a cage with no options
My whole life I've been a target
No more dreams they just want me erased
When we get hurt they don't see us
When we get cut they don't see blood
Take our style wanna be us
Wring us out they don't need us
Lock us down they don't free us
No more hope for myself
Won't grow up like a notch in a belt
Hit them where it hurts ain't a thought about it.

Silence is defeat (So fucking like you)
