Father,
I'm running through the fire
I don't want to belong
I just need a place to admire
I run and I run towards the sun
Thinking about the things I could've done about it
My friends are gone
One by one
To the fighting, they just can't live without it
You know I've never lost the faith within
If God is with us, then who's with them?
Mother,
I'm drowning in my desires
I just wanted to keep a wife and a home
But they call me a thief and a liar
I drown and I drown in this fucked up town
The roots in the ground had poisoned my fortune
I see people meltdown for unknown grounds
What kind of love can cause this tension?
It doesn't really matter where it all begins
Because we prayed and we cried and we moaned
And we failed and we sinned
Call it rebellion
I found myself in this rebellion
In this rebellion
I'm not a blind civilian
I don't bleed my head
I don't wear the black
I don't close my eyes and ears to prove piety
I don't grow my beard
I don't preach slaughter
I don't raise a sword for the lord to show loyalty
And that's what I see
What's wrong with unity?
