Rise and Fall
Adorned with my ancestral rights
Founded on fear...
Maintained by might
The truth I search for
Is not found in all but lies
Loud speakers call out and remind
Keep posture straight
Keep minds in line and don't dare step out
These mainstream conforming ways
That my color can't seem to fit
Well into, I'm exposed
And maybe we can make this happen
Maybe we can set this right
I'm sorry for exposing you
All your walls and imperfection
All your fears and all of the flaws you hold inside
That you try so hard to hide from me
Adorned in gold
Maintained by might...
Now
As I am disavowed
I've disavowed these thoughts that keep me down
Don't dare stand up
And maybe we can make this happen
Maybe we can set this right
I'm sorry for exposing you
All your walls and imperfection
All your fears and all of the flaws you hold inside
That you try so hard to hide from me
This is my last attempt...
I lash...out!
This is my last dying plea to you
These misconceptions keep my hands nailed to the cross
Relics, pieces, the images are false
My cynic explanations are breaking down your walls
This is my last challenge, I fall...
As I search for truth
I search for you
In my search for the truth
I've found nothing, but
Broken pieces of you...
