Why should I be scared? Why do I have to feel fear in my heart every time I get pulled over, every time I get stopped?
More innocent blood has been shed and unanswered for. How long? How long can this go on before something is done?
Please I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe!
I can’t breathe with your knee on my neck.
I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe.
I can’t breathe with your knee on my neck!
Please don’t shoot, please don’t shoot!
I am unarmed and I mean you no harm except that in my heart I do.
I wish you were fucking dead.
You need to pay for what you did.
There needs to be accountability. There needs to be justice for all those who have lost their lives at your fucking hands, at your fucking feet.
Change from within, change from within my fucking ass. You are just as guilty standing by doing nothing. Protecting those on your side.
I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe. Not in a country that wants me to die based on my skin color. I can’t breathe in a country that wants me to die based on my skin color.
Based on the way that I was born...

pressure forcing you, pressure crushing you
pressure pressure, no pleasure
take it off of me, take it off of me
take it take it, you wont make it
im not spending my life here
im not living alone
treads on a wheel in filth
sick and appalled
cycle of guilt

Can’t hear the words you say
Cause they all sound the same
Now I’m blocking out your voice
It’s all just noise to me
You’ve got one foot in the grave
And you act like you’re so brave. It’s just a matter of time before the skies turn gray to rain on your parade.
You never take the blame,
So typical.
And you run your mouth because you think that you’re invincible
You wanna take the world by storm
Before you fade away.
What would your mother say?
TELL ME
Why do you work so hard?
ONLY
Only to fall so far?
YOU DON’T
Know who the hell you are.
You wanna bleed so we can see all your scars.
ONE MORE
Just another bridge to burn
WHEN WILL
When will you ever learn?
YOU ARE
Gonna get what you deserve.
AND I’LL BE THERE
when the tables turn.
You will answer for your sins
When the end of the world begins.
And you might ask yourself if everything you ever did was all in vain.
You’re burning through your lies. Everyone is a fool in your eyes.
But I won’t fall for that this time, the world is gonna see through your disguise.
You’ll never take the blame,
So typical.
And you run your mouth because you think that you’re invincible
You wanna save yourself no matter who gets in the way. Better get on your knees and pray.
TELL ME
Why do you work so hard?
ONLY
Only to fall so far?
YOU DON’T
Know who the hell you are.
You wanna bleed so we can see all your scars.
ONE MORE
Just another bridge to burn
WHEN WILL
When will you ever learn?
YOU ARE
Gonna get what you deserve.
AND I’LL BE THERE
when the tables turn.

Looking for something to help me ease this pain.
From the abandonment of my own head.
See I could hate you but I'm not that brave
Oh i can't hate you no, im not there yet.
In seeing changes I'm feeling jaded, dark blue.
You're counting faces, I know it's complicated for you.
When you're feeling blue.
For you
When you're feeling blue
I'm falling apart and I hope the pieces that break
Fall in a pattern to find their way back in place
My arms feel heavy and i cant fall asleep.
Feeling the levy of all my bad memories.
In seeing changes I'm feeling jaded, dark blue.
You're counting faces, I know it's complicated for you.
When you're feeling blue.
For you
When you're feeling blue
I know im wasting my time but I swear that I'm patient.
To see the mind I once loved bloom back in it's nature.

My child, my child, my child, where are you going?
The desert is flooding, the young kids were told to go home.
Fed manna and cages and patience into your throats.
Tend to your mercy, it’s sure to bring some dispute.
A ghost is dead, he’s buried inside a screen.
The sand is soaked, their legs are broken.
They’re drowning inside a muddied up mind.
My child, my child, my child, my child!
I wish you peace, I wish you peace.
The wheels on your bike are melting so quietly.
No one saw when they broke, bless this hot asphalt.
Fed fish and bread, the pulse says you're dead.
But joy is now, won’t you fatten this calf?
A ghost, a town, the playground torn down.
My child, my child, my child, my child!
I wish you peace, I wish you peace (my child, my child, my child)
My child, my child, my child, where are you going?
My child, my child, my child, please don’t go.

Walking around with the Vail’s over their eyes
But we know that they’re all fascists in disguise
With every tragedy they all point to the sky
They’ll never stop believing all their fuckin lies
So say your final thoughts and prayers
And look down to the ground
Because you’ll be the first ones gone when the all the bombs drop down
Filling your house with hate because you think it’s fun
But we’ve all reached a breaking point we’re all fucking done
They’re the ones who pull the strings
But we’re the ones who point the guns
So say your final thoughts and prayers
And look down to the ground
Because you’ll be the first ones gone when the all the bombs drop down
