Houses that kill the pain

There never was me untamed,
pushed to the limits without these gates,
i am nobody with you, but i have the world,
as if it leaked out of my ears into my mouth
i can taste it the troubled fires in love with dust,
control and greed in love with power and selfishness,
we don't want this we are the seed lets breed,
let the whole world see innocence is free,
injustice knows the belief system is ill, 
poisoned with will of unwilling to sacrifice,
all that we have we earned than taken all away
over night streets and cities filled with pain,
memories flood all the gutters of houses
that kill all that is evil in my back yard 
poured into the soil remember when,
one key, one door, one secret, one home.
