Terrorism
Born with my identity
reborn into supremecy
the double standard of dishing it out but not taking it
this sword cuts us both ways
Never said you dressed up as a saint
and that makes you harder to trust
never said i would change your mind
doing unto others as they do unto you
control, rationalising what you want
the past is the past yet you ask others not to hold a grudge
I don't blame you, striving for answers and stability
however you seem to do so blindly
and scapegoats come with a price
you do whatever you want
and when i become offended to take a stand against terrorism
terrorism happening to me
just so easy to turn it around, and blame me
you dish it out
in different flavours
but when i offer you a solution to the constant agony
of suspicious minds
tag teaming the innocent
yet the world remains blind
Terrorism to me is being held captive
in a secret location
tested and tested for the entertainment of a nation
Terrorism to me is surviving as long as you can
on some distant island
all the while i want to know where you are
and what is really going on in that show
terrorism to me is taking whole neighborhoods and locking them down
to plot one family against the next
I'm not sure what terrorism is to you
Writing your name on a wall
screaming from all around the world in denial
the blame game you sing
dishing it out
dish after dish
but never taking what is owed to you
well thats something
Terrorism would be locked up in a place
because no one believes you
fed medication
for years because something silly drove you crazy
terrorism would be a lot of things
but no im not scared of you
heck this is business
you have it all under control
the manipulation
truth of power over me
yet you get rich for destroying lives like people like me
watching you live your dreams im denied
taking away what you could never bring back
i miss myself
my mind
and you got paid to do that
Terrorism would be watching something unfold
that looks like a billion dollar conspiracy
with no way to stop it
watching the horror of what entertains everybody
and being disgusted full well knowing whats good for you
is good for me
There are a lot of things i would consider terrorism
but nope
even though i live in fear
to the point of mental illness
and then have that manipulated again
i have no clue what terrorism feels like
but i know i can buy it from you
victom of your crimes
and my big shoes
