Endorsement

(album: This Crying, This Screaming, My Voice Is Being Born - 1996)

I create my own. I no longer revolve. around your resentment.
I can smell the hatred behind your tearing sneer. I am no longer threatened by this judgment throne.
lies. dead. stagnant. change. forgetting one more day. I could really care less about your lame confinement.
my ego's not worth saving when true change is not met. forgetting one last day.
I can't understand. but I feel this rage is spreading on inside me. you tread on me like you have before.
my body is broke but my soul's unbowed. your laughter fuels a will to move inside of me that I've never felt.
standing, grabbing ground. your faces all drown out. I can't understand but I can't stop forward moving.
I won't be pulled down anymore this is all I have no matter what scorn.
ears sliced off by complacency do their bodies no good for the words they speak.
you tried your best to take me down and then explained that's what friends are for. your ruled me out. you ruled me out.
