Transfer your surrogate anger to me
Passion my ready heart
Give me that blood red devoted
The war cry opposing pains

Decorate my temple with it splattered
Tempt me undeserving, goddess
You're a universal donor and the
Engulfing, endless universe

Forest fires fertilize the earth

Street lamp vitality hooded
Pumped adrenaline rush release
Photosynthesis in amber light
Nocturnal beasts and ***** vermin

Brain boils tar, toxic sludge, *****
An anti-hero, drugged radioactive
Activated by the radio waves
A homeless veteran of divorce wars

The hollow moon and hollow promises
Finds upside down minds jilted
Only flickering dim candle lights
Self-powered by winds of change

One nation under assault,
one nation under pressure,
one nation claiming greatness against
an outdated measure.
With liberty and justice stockpiled commodities
and legions of disgruntled youth
left to deal with the atrocities.
One nation under-loved
One nation over-policed
One nation claiming Jesus
wearing the tell-tale mark of the beast.
With hate in the left hand, and hate in the right,
and both hands balled up like we're dying to fight.
A New Day, they call this perpetual night
This suffocating darkness that chokes out the light
And EVERYBODY THINKS THAT THEIR SIDE IS RIGHT.

One nation underwhelmed by the policies they chose
One hypocrisy of a democracy, calling their own stink a rose
One thing after another, no wonder the kids are cynics now,
thinking "You CAN'T make it better, WE don't know how."
Love is lost in the struggle between apathy and hate
America, the beautiful.  America, the great.
America, the fractured paragon,
We cling to ghosts of a changing time
We've fallen for the distractions, and
our pedestal is too high to climb.

Oh brothers, oh sisters, what else can we do?
If you'll look out for me, and I look out for you,
just a ripple in this pool of ****
may clear the waters, just a bit.
But as long as there are white votes
black votes
Latino votes
left votes
right votes
there'll be no vote of confidence
in the future of these divided states.
We'll rip ourselves apart,
tear out our own heart
waving our flags the whole time
and claiming no blame for the divide.
God Bless America,
and do it quick.
All sides of this society
are dying or sick.

Why are people always shouting?
If I shouted that much
I wouldn't recognize my voice
Whenever I talk to myself in my head

Every eye taken in revenge made me blind
And I swallow hate like poison

sometimes when I'm alone I cry for no reason,
so i think of reasons,
like their needs to be a purpose to cry,

sometimes I dream about the times when I used to burn myself,
so I trace over my old scars,
like touching them will rip them apart once more,

sometimes I think about dying,
so I think of who I would want to care,
and I can't seem to think of anyone who matters enough,

ONE body, ONE mind, ONE heart-
ONE night they came into my room.
They stole my safety with ONE touch.
They broke my heart before I knew how to feel.
Barley able to walk, no laughter, I ate my pain.
ONE child sits in fear, I'm missing, who have I become.
Blood runs down my face, as my heart is betrayed.
As I sit prisoner of their ways,frightened by the ONE I see.
Why do I breath, why do I bleed.
I wish the end to come, I wish the day to end. I fall asleep, crying, fear, scared, alONE!!
