lyrics

Pigs set a blaze to my eyes
Its half the fire that burns inside
Between coded lies and floating cries
Violently contained subjects collide
We find mutual understanding
You are always among siblings
A righteousness they like underhanding
Communicating peers they like crippling
I was at CHAZ
I was in portland
They lied to you about what happened
We’re prisoners and they're the warden
We stand in a row and wait to be assaulted
We know its coming, they'll find someone faulted
Tear gas us all instead of picking them out
Snipers in the buildings shooting salt in our eyes
They jam our signals before the gas
Trying to cover their own ass
Trying desperately to de escalate
i don't want thousands gassed tonight

It still haunts me that i couldn't while casualties amassed
Attack the young and old that get left behind
Beat and arrest any stragglers
Block EMTs from getting in
Destroy medic stations beat the injured
I watched them flash bang the infarmary
Our own government
And what am I to think
They have our backs and i should contribute

All in a smile and a wink
Meanwhile im left with ptsd and suicidal ideations
The system would rather see me die
They won't bother to keep me dry
It makes me sick
It makes me sick
It makes me sick
It makes me sick
I get sick watching protests now
My heart races and i'm thrown back in
Theres no answer to how
It just happened now i can't win
Must leave the country
Must find new wind
Im a terrorist they dont love me
I'll find somewhere that will
An embrace that lets me free
And gets the boot away from my throat
Must leave the country
Must find new wind
I want to die not live a hoax
