You have nothing other than things to hate
But I will never take your bait

A tirade of madness, hopeless all
Nothing new in words that speak so loud
The same clichés, the same rehashed thoughts
Over again and it’s always outward
It must be so lonely at the top
After everyone else is written off
And the human race cast as a disease
Forgetting this is what they’re part of

All those dead words serve to do is validate yourself
All those dead words bring a hex upon everyone else

And now I have to bring it back
Bring something more than a complaint
I will never stop speaking of hope
Even if it’s thrown back in my face
I reject the stance of the nihilist
I do what I can to bring new life
Into the beating of fading hearts
Turning darkness into light

Dead Words

She lies and says she’s in love with him
The hold he has on her breaking her spirit
A man holding on to a world he controls
To be his queen she becomes a prisoner in it
Too many women settling for the ones
With fat wallets and yet thin conscience
Outward suave faces and dapper attire
Inwardly corrupt and abusive in essence

Oh God - make me a better man
A man to stand above these evil ways
Oh God - make me a better man
A man who knows how to love
Oh God - make me a better man
Someone who gives not needing to take
Oh God - make me a better man
Living free of these vindictive games

Can’t find a better man when all that’s going
Are scumbags thinking of only one thing
Themselves, their own pleasure, and nothing more
Bending others to their malevolent will
And it won’t change while we do nothing
While we take no steps to show the world
The way that a woman is meant to be treated
That they’re more than objects or a notch to be won
