We spoke our minds too clearly
We a__umed fundamental rights were
Inherent not as p___s but humans...

I do not require a gauge
For freedoms of speech cause
I never asked to be a citizen...

I never have and never will
Pledge allegiance...

Waking up each morning with confusion in my eyes
The wind is biting through to wave hello
Seeing my reflection, an exterior of lies
I hope this shaky feeling doesn't show...

As if I had to tell you, there was little left to say
Stilted conversations coloured blue
You were sitting down and you got up to walk away
I tried to stay, but I was right behind you...

I was right behind you...
I was right behind you...

Tension in the stare
I cannot bear so close to helpless
As the songs I sing
Inside me ring.

Final words are boring
Never touch I know you whispered
Something in my ear
I couldn't hear you...

Girls with the greenest eyes
First time you have kissed
Our quiet softest sighs
A song for all of those who shot and missed...

Welcome to this world impuded identity
Born, tagged, tattoed, pacified
Generously bestowed my rights and privileges replete
Arbitrary values ascribed...

There's nothing I can tell you, nothing I can say
Stunted conversation, censored thought
I'm completely free at liberty guaranteed
Unless, of course, you decide I'm not, but...

I'll not be resigned to
Fall in line behind you...

Tension in the air
I cannot ear, so what the f___
Am I accomplishing!?
Absolutely nothing!!!

All these words are boring
It's time for action
But you've taught me to be a p___
It won't last for long...

Those who see through the lies
Are quickly gagged and bound
Their ambitions realized
Tear the whole f___ing thing down!!!

I was right behind you...
I was right behind you...
