Artist : Propaghandi
Song : Showdown
We spoke our minds too clearly.
We assumed fundamental rights were inherent
Not as pawns but humyns.
I do not require a gauge for freedom of speech
Cuz 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 colored blue.
You were sitting down and you got up to walk
away.
I tried to stay but I was right behind you.
Tension in the stair, I cannot bear so close to
helpless
As this song 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. the first time you
have kissed.
Our quiet softest sighs.
A song for all of those who shot and missed.
Welcomed to this world, imputed identity.
Born, tagged, tattooed, pacified.
Generously bestowed my rights and privileges
replete.
Arbitrary values ascribed.
There’s nothing I can tell you. there’s 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 bear
So what the fuck am I accomplishing? absolutely
nothing.
All these words are boring, it’s time for
action.
But you’ve taught me to be a pawn.
It won’t last for long.
Those who see through the lies are quickly gagged
and bound.
Ambition realized, tear the whole fucking thing
down.
