Confession

Youth hypnotized by the glory of rising up from the ashes left by the flames that consumed their parent’s home
Idolizing the dreams that were promised to them in schoolyards their destinies were drawn for them in ink reeking of hatred

Hypnotized, paralyzed
Hypnotized, we’ve been paralyzed

Imagine all your peers became mindless. “Peers became mindless”
Political figures rule their thoughts
Tears streaming down my face as I hold this weapon concealed within my resentment for the cause we are fighting for.

It’s too late to turn to try to save myself for if I did I’d be left alone against both my home and the opposition alone

Hypnotized, paralyzed
Hypnotized, we’ve been paralyzed

Imagine all your peers became mindless “Peers became mindless”
Political figures rule their thoughts
Too scared to oppose you fall back into place. “Fall back into place”
Forgetting all your previous beliefs
As you lie awake

I’m hiding in the light of this hopeless social redundance covered in my endless shame
Not right now not supposed to be
You

Imagine all your peers became mindless “Peers became mindless”
Political figures rule their thoughts
Too scared to oppose I fall back into place. “Fall back into place”
Forgetting all your previous beliefs
As you lie awake

Rise up and face the truth before death
As you lie awake
Lie awake before you petrify your blinded eyes
