Vault

Empty cup. I can't get up to face the sun again Biding time, I fall in line, I know that I can't win Branded by those who want me for their keep So I'm better off if I just stay asleep A living drone, I'm not my own A path I didn't choose I take the pill, do what you will I'm just here to be used Garnered by those who are just tending sheep So I'm better off if I just fall asleep Once the dirt falls down around you Just be glad it never found you Your kept yourself inside a vault you Locked so they could never fault you Even if tyrants bring the storm Even if violence becomes the norm You won't silence me cause my voice is my sword Even if death awaits me My last breath escapes me You can't measure what The word does to the hordes I stood back and watched it I gawked while they botched it I locked my eyes on it Knowing what's in store I stand on the hill for this I raised my voice and not my fist These words can't be dismissed No child should be a whore I am a victim of the system That won't acknowledge my existence
