on dawn of the day I arose to the thunder again   the pounding in my head   it doesn't seem to phase me   how every scream the pretend not to hear echoes through me   standing, complacently waiting   I try to tell myself   our lives are worth more than this   so give me a chance to take it all back,   I'll show you that I'm worth more than your pittance or pity   it's a spit in the face   so don't even try to explain   the earth shakes beneath my feet   and as these buildings   they crumble around me   I call out if you can hear me   come and let me out,   oh please break me out!   and give me sanctuary   you know this whole world knows   you won't be satisfied 'til you fill up another cemetery   it's all a game to you   we won't be fooled by you into thinking that it's easy,   nobody said this would be easy to swallow or process or fake   and dark will be the day when I elude their desires   no longer will I be..
