It’s hard to express how I feel
I’ve been told my truth is false
Only conforming will help me heal
Take away all I think is real
Don’t check the dead for a pulse
Everything is just black or white
My whole world is turning gray
What makes you so right?
You say you’ve seen the light
I don’t want to live your way
Feed the world a poisoned meal
We’ve been told our truth is false
You lie, you confuse, you harm to make your deal
Before your throne we are to kneel
Don’t check the dead for a pulse
Everything is just black or white
My whole world is turning gray
What makes you so right?
You say you’ve seen the light
I don’t want to live your way
Our hearts and souls you yearn to steal
When we believe our truth is false
The layers of our lives you peel
From deep within you take the wheel
Don’t check the dead for a pulse
The weak shall break under your sight
For stubbornness the rest will pay
And face the sharpness of your bite
But they won’t go down without a fight
I don’t want to live your way
It’s hard to express how I feel
I won’t accept my truth as false
Resisting your grip will help me heal
Hold on to all I know is real
Don’t check the dead for a pulse
