Whenever I walk out the door, I don't see people anymore I don't see kindness I don't see love I may not see much but I see enough All I see is snakes and spiders Spitting venom at the things that divide us Holding power and mocking those powerless Rather than focus on what unites us                   Now it's time to rise up                     Defend yourself against the venomous       They may be deadly and corrupt But it's you and me that can make them stop! The venom courses through my veins No antidote for these aches and pains If you want them to stop then make them stop Prove to them you've had enough The venom courses through my veins Every day it's all the same They all pretend it's just a game When they label you with those names Prove to them you've had enough Prove to them you've had enough Prove to them you've had enough Prove to them you've had enough Crawling up and down the streets Not-so-secret brawls in back alleys They can knock you off your feet But you must never admit defeat All have my empathy All have my sympathy You know that it's your destiny To show them what lies underneath Never admit defeat The venom courses through my veins No antidote for these aches and pains If you want them to stop then make them stop Prove to them you've had enough The venom courses through my veins Every day it's all the same They all pretend it's just a game When they label you with those names Prove to them you've had enough Rise Up! Rise Up! Prove to them you've had enough Rise Up! Rise Up! Prove to them you've had enough Rise Up! Rise Up! Prove to them you've had enough Rise Up! Rise Up! *Rise up, never admit defeat You have what it takes underneath Can't you feel your heart beat? You can stop it, you will see....*

Spitting Venom
Whenever I walk out the door, I don't see people anymore I don't see kindness I don't see love I may not see much but I see enough All I see is snakes and spiders Spitting venom at the things that divide us Holding power and mocking those powerless Rather than focus on what unites us                   Now it's time to rise up                     Defend yourself against the venomous       They may be deadly and corrupt But it's you and me that can make them stop! The venom courses through my veins No antidote for these aches and pains If you want them to stop then make them stop Prove to them you've had enough The venom courses through my veins Every day it's all the same They all pretend it's just a game When they label you with those names Prove to them you've had enough Prove to them you've had enough Prove to them you've had enough Prove to them you've had enough Crawling up and down the streets Not-so-secret brawls in back alleys They can knock you off your feet But you must never admit defeat All have my empathy All have my sympathy You know that it's your destiny To show them what lies underneath Never admit defeat The venom courses through my veins No antidote for these aches and pains If you want them to stop then make them stop Prove to them you've had enough The venom courses through my veins Every day it's all the same They all pretend it's just a game When they label you with those names Prove to them you've had enough Rise Up! Rise Up! Prove to them you've had enough Rise Up! Rise Up! Prove to them you've had enough Rise Up! Rise Up! Prove to them you've had enough Rise Up! Rise Up! *Rise up, never admit defeat You have what it takes underneath Can't you feel your heart beat? You can stop it, you will see....*
To my sister, Dakotah, and any one else who has ever been bullied/ is being bullied. Make a stand. Do not admit defeat at the hands of those unworthy.
