| The pain of our broken bones
|
| Holds no candle to the pain of our broken homes
|
| The bothersome cold and fatherless homes
|
| Who is to blame but our own?
|
| When mothers overseas
|
| See pain that we don’t know
|
| And they pray their offspring have no double X chromosome
|
| 'Cause if so, they become triple-X photo drones
|
| While we spend our time alone on our cellular phones
|
| Not connecting with each other’s minds
|
| And definitely not connecting with each other’s souls
|
| And this black hole’s just the right size for the devil to make his home
|
| And it’s sad to say, but I can unfortunately admit that
|
| Time after time, I’ve let these demons inhabit my mind
|
| But can you blame me when I’m raised in a nation that
|
| Teaches me every time I make a mistake
|
| I can just blame society?
|
| And my United States is a product of history books
|
| Not history
|
| And I’m the child of enough stern preaching
|
| To believe in things I can’t even see
|
| But I’ll take it with no reason
|
| 'Cause I need some sort of clarity and dignity
|
| Through this changing season
|
| And people say I’m speaking blasphemy and unrighteously
|
| And I’m gonna regret this
|
| When really, I’m just telling you what I’m afraid of
|
| And they say I’m gonna wish I could eat my words
|
| When I meet my maker
|
| But I’ve compromised myself so many times
|
| That I don’t even know what I’m made of
|
| So forgive me
|
| I’m just another broken human
|
| Trying to live freely |
