We lost our hunger in the longest slumber- Sleep.
Used to fight more, love life more, now we dangle on strings
& the anger I've seen, wait- Does the puppeteer ever see the puppet's tears
I'd cut my strings loose if I could handle the courage
It's your show, you planted the seeds, we just actually flourished
We blossomed & bloomed, besides the light, what we sought was the truth
Thought the strings couldn't be broken but even in darkness we grew
The fear that we had, was replaced by the freedom we have
We used to lie dormant, a slight torment, waiting for the seasons to pass
Used to count sheep, hoping to live all the dreams that I thought
How did we spell pathetic with all the Z's that we caught
No time to grieve for the lost, we're meant for devotion
There's a new gleam in my eye, no strings, time to set it in motion
You see our fire when we're inspired- Awakening.
Feel the fire you feared, we got the force to demolish
Tried to shield us from joy, now we have a sword that we polish
Ready for war, machete's & more- Remove the King from his Kingdom
There's not a metaphor, to describe the feeling of freedom
We're destroying your ego, we hope to be equals
Together we protest, & for the moment it's peaceful
We had but a grain of hope, ambition was lost in the sand
We must have grew thorns, we used to be in the palm of your hands
Before, we were likely to fall- Check the names we write on the wall
That's all the brave souls, willing to lose their life for the cause
& I'm one of many- I could care less if I'm seen as a target
Thought life was set in stone until I found out it was easy to carve it
We're still fighting, still dying- Dreaming
