DESTRUCTION. My words are getting twisted around dark tales We talk down at night, my best friend in jail Every week now I try writing my way out of this town Goddamn politics are seeping into every damn doc Double-digits on the caliber of his grandpa’s foreign gun They take us all for granted, world is shutting down So I’ve been trying too hard to keep myself afloat And my one escape is getting too real and too close I don’t wanna be rich, I just want to feel content But life seems to be against me, hate the way it hits Really seems like a bigger issue down in Washington D.C If they’ll give my ex healthcare, if I’ll be able to marry My brain quit thinking if they’ll care about me now I’m a girl who likes women, what’ll they think of me now? If you say I should quit talking like I’m more powerful than I am Well, you can wait on your destruction, or get up and take a stand My future partner might ask if we’re having kids Seems like a waste of time to bring them into this world And I hate the way that I know what’ll happen in February So we wait till 2028, hearts full of dread Nothing ever happens down in the government buildings And they reap the benefits of the common man’s work Another day in school, might get shot at 2 But have to go anyway, for that 50k tuition And if I don’t want college, I guess I’m fighting for The country I hate, the one someone else adores And the characters in my mind want to fight for something stupid But I’m running out of words, running out of paper And the ink is getting expensive, expensive to say I am just as terrified as I was when I was 8 If you ask me what I’m thinking, does that mean you care? Ain’t saying to be silent, but don’t raise your hand at all Turning me into your evil Put your rifles down at noon Turning yourself into evil Put your hands up, don’t shoot
