A nation of cowards

Our ideals betrayed

Tides of injustice

Traitors to ourselves



Offer my entrails

As sacrifice to your God,

And then imagine 

What we could have had.

A call for justice, 

Or a call for treason?

The universal problem-solver.



Please don't shoot 

Until you see

The whites of their eyes, 

A recurring cry.



Strap him down and his evils will be reconciled.

Flip the switch and everything will be alright.



A nation of cowards

Our ideals betrayed

Tides of injustice

Traitors to ourselves



Inject the poison to make us feel safe.

Inject the poison to make us feel safe.



Inject 

The poison 

To make us 

Feel safe.



It will crush you, 

Shattered teeth and broken bones 

All in spite of your best intentions.



It will consume you, 

Ruined lives and tortured souls all

Because of your need for a scapegoat.



I have ignored this carnage for far too long,

But now my conscience has caught up with my heart.

Has caught up with my heart.



Carry me away, on wings that cannot fly 

To the land of second chances where hope conquers fear.



Carry me away, on wings that cannot fly 

To the land of second chances where hope conquers fear.
