Dishonest Escape - Ar(sin)ist Lyrics

Should I hope that somehow
You won't change me
And only take me under your wing
To assist in this growth process
Physically and otherwise?
And besides
Do I have a choice?
I know I have a voice
But my words fall on deaf ears
Just like everyone else's
Except for those that matter to you and them
With their checks and pens
Filled with ink and blood and venom and semen
But I'm only paying the victim
As you continue to kick me while I'm down

You can never cage me
You will not enslave me
I've not many years I've lived
But I have enough mind to see what this is
Your institution
Your constitution
Your prostitution
For the people that you've grown apart from
I won't be one with that variation
I will not become one

So stop
Parade the streets with board and signs
Since only now they destroyed your lives
It might not get worse but it might not get better
Their faces get wet
And the bodies get redder
They pile them up and they might them up
And pretended that that they never existed
F*ck the memories
You're only one person
He's only one person
She's only one person
Affected by this widespread perversion
We have to die if we want to live
Do we even want to try?
So we'll suffer out loud and not do a f*cking thing
If we choose to let them pull the strings
Or show them we're all alive now
With a choice to set ourselves free!

What did I do now? You could never tame me
Did I let you down? You can never shame me
This could be our time
To slither in and wrap around their necks
We'll end some miseries!

Come in
I want to show you something
Reach around and grab them by the neck
Come in
I want to show you something
Reaching out and grab them by the neck!
I'll grab you by the neck
You're mine!

Come pull them in I want to show you something
Take them by the hand it's time learn something
Come pull them in I want to show you something
Take them by the hand
Teach em what the hurt is
Grab the pile and we burn it
Let no body touch it
Not even if they deserve it
Teach em what the hurt is
Grab the pile and we burn it
Let no body touch it
Not even if they deserve it
Come and take a spot in your safe place
Come take a stand for what you believe in
Wipe the look of fear off your face
You're hanging with the big boys now

You can never tame me
You can't enslave me
You will not take me
I won't be sucked into this mass production
Of our destruction
Come take a stand
For what you believe in
Without your guard there
Without your highchair
You're nothing but a spineless waste of air
I'm quick to react
That's a fact
You should have never given me time t
To grab a motherf*cking match
