Abhorrence

My knees embraced the concrete
It's cracks a kiss of death
My faith falters while I plumb the depths
My torch is my contempt
I thought I'd found the exit
But wound up at the start
You can't get through the darkest of dark if you don't know where you are

I abhor society's constructs
Is it amnesty, or reprieve?
It's a shame, that people hate
And it's something they believe they need
I abhor society's constructs
Can you learn before you learn to speak?
Like a game, without an aim
Time is wasted on instilling fear

I sang laments of wonder
The tulip born of blaze
My screams they will never cease to stay
I feel their every ache
My mind is full of memories
My heart of emptiness
My body burns of a noxious hex
My soul lives off the ledge

I abhor society's constructs
Is it amnesty, or reprieve?
It's a shame, that people hate
And it's something they believe they need
I abhor society's constructs
Can you learn before you learn to speak?
Like a game, without an aim
Time is wasted on instilling fear

Doesn't matter what your culture or your race
Shades of pain don't change the color running through our veins
You may break but you're the sculptor, so you build your fate
Gender and expression can't erase what you've faced
Doesn't matter how you're born or what your faith
Or the measurement of your height or your weight
Nothing changes if you're gay or if you're straight
Either way we're all trying to disgrace the hate

I abhor society's constructs
Is it amnesty, or reprieve?
It's a shame, that people hate
And it's something they believe they need
I abhor society's constructs
Can you learn before you learn to speak?
Like a game, without an aim
Time is wasted on instilling fear
