I woke up in a sweat my mind was racing,
With so many things that I want to forget,
There's a time and place when the misgivings of a few start to make sense,
And now I'm ready to break with the time and the heartbreak that I've spent building a kingdom for thieves, keeping the poor on their knees, holding up a patriarchal debt.
Not one more breath belongs to another,
I can't wait for a later day to drop out of all the games you play.
So sick of all the lies and holding my tongue when I face them,
Letting go of any need to choose a side,
Trusting the way that the truth can illuminate a path through the darkest night,
And now I'm ready to break with the time and the heartbreak that I've spent building a kingdom for thieves, keeping the poor on their knees, holding up the myth of wrong and right.
Not one more breath belongs to another,
I can't wait for a later day to drop out of all the games you play. Free minds to discover all the color will fade away,
Black and white replaced with gray.
I've said enough.
