Slave - A War Within

Make believe and my blind hypocrisy

We all live in disbelief

Fighting for what we refuse to speak

Our love is all and can carry us far

But now it isn’t free

A price we all pay indefinitely

I am a slave

I won’t give to take

I work for everything

Not just a wage

Grinding away

Cause that’s the way you want me

Falling to my grave

Cause I am a slave

Day after day we all hope wishes will come true

Instead we’re left with treasures so heavy we can not move

They promised us a taste of what they do

At least they said they were going to

I need to escape

Cause I can’t keep living like this

No, I can’t keep living this way

I wish that some how things would change

I’ll follow my heart and my soul

Until were fucking dead

I am a slave

I won’t give to take

I work for everything

Not just a wage

Grinding away

Cause that’s the way you want me

Falling to my grave

Cause I am a slave

When nobody ever wants to end this way

You are my saving grace

I want out this place

To a go where I belong

We work for days and nights without a single break

You keep filling our hearts with all your grateful words

With all your hopeful promises

We’ve been in this world for so long

I hope that one day you’ll learn that

We won’t stop until we’re dead

And I know chances are slim enough

But I know the time we spend is all I’m hoping for

I am a slave

I won’t give to take

I work for everything

Not just a wage

Grinding away

Cause that’s the way you want me

Falling to my grave

Cause I am a slave

When nobody ever wants to end this way

You are my saving grace

I want out this place

To a go where I belong

When everything is beautiful

Take yourself out of the picture

A soft, subtle reminder

That everything is better without you
