Kings & Queens

Where is the truth,

What I think I know.

What I think I control,

Slips through my fingers.

Where is the proof,

Nothing to show.

Consequences of ignorance,

That still seems to linger.

I think I understand that I lack

Understanding.

Been taking what I'm given,

But I'm left empty-handed.

Where do I stand, when the

The ground is always shaky.

Who do I trust, when they're

Always trying to break me.

 Sedate me... Elate me.

So they can propagate me.

They love me, then hate me,

They're always trying to bait me.

Try to always make me

Fall into their web of fantasy.

Try to complicate the facts

That makes up our reality.

They just won't leave me be...

...But there's just something

About me, something unseen.

Something deep inside of me,

That's pissed off and mean.

I mean... The scars that I carry

From the battles, I've won.

I reach for the sky, just

To get burnt by the sun.

Evaluate the damage done.

[Chorus]

That which hasn't killed me,

Has only made me stronger.

My determination. 

I'll last a little longer.

Wrong it is, to entertain

To evil Kings and Queens.

The stage is built on lies,

And tears from children's

Shattered dreams.

I will not fill the slot, 

A part of the machine.

It isn't taught, the world's

Been bought, by

Evil Kings and Queens.

What is the truth,

When it's a part of a lie.

How many die,

With not many answers.

Show me the proof,

Will you testify.

Repercussions of arrogance.

Spreading like cancer.

I see the plight of man, is a

Lack of understanding.

Led into the promised land,

And taking it for granted.

Who do you stand for,

When our leaders are corrupt.

What do you invest in,

When the system is bankrupt.

 Step up. Wake up.

It's time for things to shake up.

They makeup, and bake up,

Tainted candy that we take up.

Confuse and try to silence us,

An orchestrated cover-up.

Trying to convince us of an

Overflowing empty cup. 

I don't mean to stop so abrupt.

There's just something about

This, something unseen.

Something dark and sinister,

That's twisted and mean.

I mean... The source of the

Deception from the battle we're in.

Is the reason for the lie,

And why they justify sin.

He who dies with the most toys wins.

That which hasn't killed me,

Has only made me stronger.

My determination. 

I'll last a little longer.

Wrong it is, to entertain

To evil Kings and Queens.

The stage is built on lies,

And tears from children's

Shattered dreams.

I will not fill the slot, 

Depart from the machine.

It isn't taught, the world's

Been bought, by

Evil Kings and Queens.

Read between the lines,

The truth is somewhere,

In between.

Generations die, while

Serving evil Kings and Queens.
