Enemy of the State

Fellow citizens, we observe today not a victory of party
But a celebration of freedom
Symbolizing an end as well as a beginning
Signifying renewal as well as change
The world is very different now
For man holds in his mortal hands
The power to abolish all forms of human life
Here I stand, feet stuck in the mud, but I’m dreaming of sand
In an ocean that’s full with sharks, I’m searching for land
Here I go, once again lips pressed into a microphone
To tell a story that nobody knows, are you listening?
Everyone I know is all the same
They treat everything like it is just a game
You can say what you want to, but you’ll never change
And now I can’t bring myself to stay by your side
By your stay, by your side
You’re in it for the riches, the fortune and fame
You only want me for my name
You’re in it for the riches, the fortune and fame
You only want me for my name
I’m broken, misunderstood
A product of a home half built all alone I stood
With my dreams in my hands, wishing that I could
Go back to a time when anything felt good
I’m so broken, misunderstood
Trying to satisfy the needs of others as best as I could
Have you noticed? Have you tried?
Have you smiled long enough to hide the pain inside you
You know what’s like to feel dead on the inside
Alone in your head till the day you die?
Leave your tears on my grave
If its all the same
This is how I want you to remember me
Here I stand, feet stuck in the mud, but I’m dreaming of sand
In an ocean that’s full with sharks, I’m searching for land
Here I go, once again lips pressed into a microphone
To tell a story that nobody knows, are you listening?
Here goes…
