War

This may not be a battle
fought with guns
or swords
it's a war for the human mind

they want to
control you
bend you
break you
make you
listen
to only them
and believe
whatever they tell you

but each of you is a soldier
a revolutionary
your mind is your weapon
analyse
think for yourself
see the holes in all their arguments
see the subtlety in their methods
and break free

don't let them take everything away
because if you wait too long
there'll be nothing left to take away
fight the machine
while you still can
before violent revolution
becomes the only way

(no subject)

Gave you everything
made you what you are
and what did I get
used
chewed
saved for when you had need
regardless of my needs

Enough

I put you on a pedestal
not for you to look down on me
ridicule me
you called me sick and twisted
used my secrets to hurt me
and you still try
to make my heart bleed

Enough

I don't need you any more
I can't take back all I gave
but I can take back my heart
heal it within myself
and face the world
as I am
not as you want me to be
