You and I are not so different
At the end of the day
We all still bleed the same
We're all given a name
Told the world is our stage
Till it's all ripped away
And you're consumed by the hate
Locked in a cage
Locked in our ways
Fighting to live
They're rich off of our pain
Throw us away
We're no different
Under the dirt
Fueled by the hurt
Rot in your hole
Loss of control
Lost in the dirt
Kill those who's run
Dead in the dirt
Without a grave

Fuck you
Your badge doesn't mean a thing to me
Keep on overstepping your authority
Our graves will scale the same
When we're all 6 feet deep
You pigs need an ego check
I thought your oath was to serve and protect
Well in my eye you're nothing more than a threat
Power to the people, this is cause and effect
Don't expect respect,
we comin Straight for ya neck
I'll show that badge down your throats without
Any regrets
Screamin fuck cops until my last breath
You get what you give
Call me the angel of death
Your uniform doesn't make you any better than me
Without that badge on your chest you're just a bitch in these streets
Without your false sense of power
Would you feel as complete
I put my hands to the sky
You put a bullet in my back
Next day find yourself under attack
You feel the people push back
I know you feel that
Without a uniform
You're nothing but a disease
You breed separation
You're nothing but scum to me
You put us in chains and put our backs to the wall

Who I am is a mystery
Keep on picking up the pieces as they shatter on the floor
If misery loves company
Then why the fuck do I wanna just die alone
Embrace your ego death
(I wanna just die alone)
Embrace your ego death
When the fuck did life become so black and white
When did my ignorance of an absence of innocence die
Given answers but I never listen
Thanks to my prescription
I've been stripped of my ambition
Cast away, a fucking renegade
Wanna feel alive, but every day just feels the same
Once again I find myself trapped in my own head
These memories never seem to fade away
Thoughts born into the world, locked in the head like a safe afraid to speak our mind,
We fear the judgement we might face
HALLOWED
I shout my prayers
And I'm met, with no reply
The silence is deafening
Thoughts born into the world
Locked in the head like safe
Afraid to speak our mind we fear the judgment we might face
Life is more than a journey
To our unmarked grave
Blinded by my perception
I'm the only one to blame
Thoughts born into a world
(The world)
Locked in the mind like a safe
(Like a safe)
Saved from the light, but still blind from the glare
We repeat our mistakes and say life ain't fair
