people like you don’t belong in a place like this
turning your back on things makes you an accomplice
how am i to decide anything if twenty different people tell me to pursue their version of ‘the right thing’?
we fought for our own right to live, on our own terms
i don’t care about what my actions look like to others
maybe you should start doubting the allegiances of certain people
everyone has their baggage to carry, will you let yours burn the world down?
i would have used anyone, anyone but you
you’re the only family i’ve ever been allowed to have
i’m so fucking sorry for leaving you behind
do you even want me if i can’t change back to what you knew me to be like?
i don’t care what people say, sometimes violence is the only answer
i try to make decisions that don’t force me to spill blood
it’s been long enough that i think you should start changing your view on things
what would you do, if you finally had a minuscule chance to actually live?
the way you live life is not how others do, they can’t understand you
i’ve burned a great many bridges to build this world, i won’t let it crumble
betrayal is all i know, please, please be the exception
out of all people, i’d never thought it would have been someone like you
thank you for making me see things more clearly and sorry for the pain that must have caused you
i’m sorry that people keep turning their back on your pain
please don’t do this, please give me a chance to fight for us
don’t drag them into this, they got involved on accident, they don’t know what they got themself into
your fight is between the me i am now and the me you miss
you’re perfect the way you are, perfect in every single one of your imperfections
i don’t care how scared the world is of you
i can’t tell if you’re maddeningly idealistic or idealistically mad
you’re destroying yourself, is that what progress looks like to you?
can i even rely on you at this point?
i wear your uniform but i am still one of them, i was still born on the other side
it’s where i grew up, where i learned how to breathe, where i learned what scientific vileness is
there are things i regret that i’d still do all over again
i know it’s not morally good, but the best strategies are rarely ethical
you need to know how to spill blood to make sound decisions in this world
i don’t care about all the limitations you’ve set for yourself
this fight isn’t about who’s right or wrong, it’s about us, and the pain
we’ve built this place as a sanctorum, as something we would have never been granted
we honour the fallen, the fighters, the revolutionaries, the victims
let me try, at least, let me try to explain what i’ve seen
there are years of desperation imprinted into the broken skin of my knuckles
i’m tired of letting the oppressors police the language of my fight
i can do good things, i can make things right, i can win, i can show i’m worth something, please believe in me
you ruin everything you touch, get too ahead of yourself, tear it apart
why didn’t you just listen? why get this far?
there are skeletons in my closet you knew by name
at the end of the day, it’s usually about money
money can do great things, if used by the right hands, by capable hands
it’s not just business sometimes, sometimes it’s the move that will turn the game around
what are we tempted by, here, by the synergy of our minds or the dissonance of our hearts?
you’ve been at my side all this time, it’s time i show i am on your side too
how can you ask that of us, we don’t have that much time
some people just don’t understand what it means to bleed until they walk into the aftermath of a massacre
if i could look into your eyes from this angle just one more time
you listened, that’s what stayed with me, listened with wide eyes and an open heart
you’re perhaps the first one i met who actually cared enough to recognise how little you knew
