All those who fought with silence, Used their words instead of violence, Tattooed scriptures upon their thighs Battled the lows with ballpoint highs, Burn away the fracture pieces, Iron on the tainted creases, This purging was our way of survival, Poet's own parables a secondhand bible, This was love, this was hate, this was rage, This was anything we could confess in midnight haze, Dream out loud all you silent eyed fiends, For this was nothing but the fuel of the machine

All those who fought with silence, Used their words instead of violence, Tattooed scriptures upon their thighs Battled the lows with ballpoint highs, Burn away the fracture pieces, Iron on the tainted creases, This purging was our way of survival, Poet's own parables a secondhand bible, This was love, this was hate, this was rage, This was anything we could confess in midnight haze, Dream out loud all you silent eyed fiends, For this was nothing but the fuel of the machine
