Vigilance

I’m living a lie
The truth stripped from my words
Forever falling through grace
You disgrace me
You won’t replace me
You were kneeling before me
The very king of performing
And the only choice that you made
Was to live with death or conforming
To understand just what we’ve been through
Upon request you must relinquish
All that has held you together

We are the eye of the storm
Where the flames are the rain
And volcanoes the water source
And as the fire consumes you
You’re forgiving your fate as you beg for remorse
I’ll be there, when your limelight breaks
And your body is bounded by chains
So fight your fights little boy
Because when you grow up you’ll find
That you’ve lived your life blind
Let me be the voice, that blocks out the noise
And the shout that refrains from their cowardly mouths
Let me be the hearts of the unloved, and the minds of the lost

These pure hearts and minds are the only thing
That we have that they haven’t got
Crown your mind, with more than a throne
Stay just alive ‘till you hear of home
Crown your mind to keep them alive
Tell me, would you leave this world behind?
Just to find your place in the sky
Would you leave this world behind?
The black of the night it took you inside and became all the lies
But no, not even the dark will find you in time
Where are my enemies now, their bodies are stacked
When you fuck with us, we fuck right back
Where are they now?
Where are my enemies now?
