How To Be Heard

Shrinking back back back

Don't look back back back

At the damage you've done

 

Pushing back back back

Don't talk back back back

And do not be heard

 

Fighting back back back

Don't fight back back back

Just remain silent

 

Going back back back

Don't go back back back

To former innocence

 

This is a mandate,

Telling you to retaliate,

And to frustrate,

Things we thought were straight,

And true.

But it's nothing new.

This is to compensate,

For all the lies we ate.

Let me demonstrate;

The things under the sun are not new,

The things they've fed us are not true,

So to retaliate,

Without the hate,

Simply change your point of view.
