it took me 8 years to see it,
until one day on a random walk.
you'd be the biggest threat to my life,
the biggest war i ever fought.

you locked me out,
to keep the peace you could.
turning my gaze into glares,
because no one understood.
but what if what comes to light,
could silence the entire neighborhood?

i took the swing,
to try to rip you from your throne.
you gathered the troops,
threw me out of my own home.
i went down screaming,
as you silenced my voice.
the city determined i was crazy,
leaving me without a choice.

the good ol boys and morally
righteous got in line.
everyone has a soul,
until their bought by your father's dime.
giving you a hand,
as you brushed off the dirt.
boys from families like yours,
always withstand the hurt.

it took me 8 years to see it,
until one random day.
my truth will come out in your actions,
more than any lies you could ever say.
