Violence

I wonder how we can not react
With violence and pure hate
When that's all we've ever been shown
When it's all we have ever known?
And I wonder if one day
When the shackles are broken
If the masters will see mercy
When mercy is unknown?

How?
When no mercy has been shown
How do I see?
With this black cloud surrounding me
How can I feel?
Love when it's drowned in misery

To awake a mind
That's only been taught to sleep?
Give me relief
And I fucking hate this negative shit

Possessed and consumed
By every thought unsavoury
Show me clarity
And I fucking hate this negative shit

And I'm sick of staring at the tongues in your fucking cheeks
And I'm sick of every day being so goddamned fucking grey

Come at me
Come at me
Come at me
I'll awaken a mind that's only been taught to sleep
Come at me
Come at me
Come at me
I'll open a mind blinded by negativity

Show me release
To awake a mind
That's only been taught to sleep
Give me relief
And I fucking hate this negative shit

Possessed and consumed
By every thought unsavoury
Show me clarity
And I fucking hate this negative shit

How do I see?
With this black cloud surrounding me
How can I feel?
Love when it's drowned in misery

And I wonder if one day
When shackles are broken
If the masters will see mercy
When mercy is unknown
