These Tears Hold More Than Water
if following is wrong
how am i not supposed to get lost?
take me away
take me now
to your safehaven that you have built
beneath this bombshelter lies
a nuclear factory
how should i breath
when all i inhale
is the exhales of humanity
am i not my own?
for you try to change me
and somehow...
it works
now i know that i cannot be free from my past
because it will always return
and haunt me
like
a
ghost
the end of my life
will be the end of yours
and his
and hers
and theirs
because i am not an individual any longer
i am now one of you
or have always been...
