This has been my grand design
killing myself for some peace of mind
I need to know, am I where I should be?
Sometimes, I don't feel you with me
So, I'll try once again
to keep my head above water when I can't fucking swim
There's a pain I can't seem to let go
there's no peace in my heart
no place I call home.
I was a quiet ghost in a quiet room
you were the rose that was watered
but forgot to bloom
The thing about dead friends is they never leave
when the living never fucking stay
every time I open up
they walk away
I've got a family of phantoms
I'm building homes out of headstones
it's all too much to handle
Just let me die in peace
There's no hope for my American dream
All I want to do is die in peace
I've got a family of phantoms
building homes out of headstones
it's all too much to handle

I should have died 100 times
who knew a basement would save my life?
I'm not hopeless
I have nothing to hope for
I will die alone, desperate and poor
The bruises on my arms are so unbecoming
your empty stare has me worried
you're not listening
All I want to do is fucking sleep
but I feel everybody's eyes looking at me
I'm only sick as the secrets I keep
can I be a secret you can keep
Just when I thought a day couldn't get any longer
I have again awoken to the painful realization of who I really am
I am nothing, I am dust and dirt

There's a sound, more like a voice, in my head
it's like putting smoke back in a cigarette
sleeping all day to pretend that you're dead
but you force yourself awake because you can't stand your bed
when's this gonna stop?
I'm counting seconds on a broken clock
There's a song playing in my head,
"all hail the loved and the living dead"
What's the point of all my broken teeth?
Everything I fight for will be taken from me
Never cross a man who's seen the worst in you
Never cross a man who's seen the worst in himself
I remember the way that you held my hand
I was eight and I thought my world was gonna end
The monster in my closet slept in my mother's room
I beat my fear like he beat me
I don't want to be like you

We are not the same
There are snakes in the Capitol
Rats in the streets
Thieves in the hospitals
Shouting "All Lives Matter" from your white-washed towns
You kings and queens of the suburbs in your white-washed crowns
You're so unaffected putting children in cages
but crying over burning precincts
I guess that's where your rage is
Angry at the poor cuz they feel they're unheard
but you'll take the ones that rob you at their fucking word
At least you'll die in comfort
I don't know how you sleep at night
knowing that there's wars that you choose not to fight
Another young black kid killed by the cops
All the things you could've done
but you chose to not
At least you'll die in comfort
(Everyday women, people of color and the LGBT community are attacked and killed in America while YOU remain silent, but hey...)
At least you'll die in comfort

Ours To Own
01:40

We have worked and ground our tired bones to ashes
spilled our blood
Shown there's nothing weaker than the strength of one
When we bind ourselves like iron, though
the group will overcome
(the group will overcome)
We have nothing in common with the businessman
We built the dream
while they have built demand
We stand outcast and starving
while our blood is on their hands
When we stand with our brothers
the world is ours to own
(we can rebuild)
But we can't do it alone
Solidarity
