American I don't know who I am, but do you ask yourself the same question?
She waited to die, she married for lies her shirt is stained with her own tears past up her sleeve, she's forgotten the trick unable to leave. She's stuck in the thick of her own hopes All that she needs, all that she wants, all alone, wed to wealth in sickness and health, dead inside, never free silenced by materials, in her eyes you'll see her plea "No hope lies here, you can't help me dependent on fake love, I wish I was born ugly" her perspective deceives, they said what's good's never free.

Dogs of war, guide my fleet You'll see the end, but oh not me I'm behind the smoke, I am shrapnel, I am deceit You'll see the end whilst I stay free Thousands of miles away, never truly known defeat business is my business, money is all that I see Wrap me in red tape, I'll find my way through Give me something to exploit, I'll hunt it down I am foreign policy, the military too Third world village in my way? I'll bomb the whole town Rebels or native government I don't give a **** We'll take your things independent of if you'll give America's **** a **** Socrates pities me, I am permanently a muck I can't help you help me, your salvation is luck Die now, little pawn, you're all why I made regressive taxes We won't have to insure success in your future if it's been broken Pay sweat from your brow, blood from your veins, there are no free passes You're all unknown soldiers, I'll determine how history is spoken

Got away from it all, living on the island Vagrants raft away from me No technology, I may be a savage but this be my land society of one, me and endless sea your petty worries are just grains in the sand There's no time of day, living on the island Only day and night, when there's a will there's a way No cruelty, no tickets, no beatings, no contraband Living on the island, you're alone, not lonely, you're only a stray Here my starvation isn't at the hands of others the beasts still exists, but they're my friends my Walden Lake, no kin, no brothers but I was alone in the beginning, I'll be alone in the end I can build what I need, do whatever what I want I'll smell, but you can't spit on me, I'm the king of myself

The Island
Greed indefinitely corrupts those who become opulent those who enter Buddha's palace don't want to leave those temples of bones of them who've paid for our deficits no one wants to be there, it's better to loot their corpses than grieve If you fall off the horse you get back on If the horse falls first take your bags and leave be the one man caravan; independent and free but just like the horse you're only a pawn I left my heart with the one who loved me can't get it back, I forgot who it was nomads take what you need, travel to the country don't stir the locals, they're covered in blood Time will tell you that nothing is really gold, if you don't learn to let go your hands will turn green people are possessions or so I've been told everybody is a sell out, no money is clean You can ignore me, my poor speak, the angst makes me weak I don't care what you all think, am I a hypocrite? Yes. What's he point? realities a ***** I can't get answers, there's no truth to seek Opaque fog over everything I do, my body is fine, my mind is a mess.
