Persecution

It's a crying shame I'm afraid of all I've ever wanted All the crooked ends and fraying lines It happens all the time But I'm a fighter, I won't pretend I'm honest all the time But at least I'm trying to be here anyway Be here anyway And if I can't shake this, would you break it for me? So maybe I can see That we are free and loved And maybe awaking Oh and we fall And we're breaking in silence And there's glass on the floor And we're starting to bleed Don't just stand there, we're screaming in silence Is that all you have to say? Don't touch me Don't There's a dying flame and a well-known name A suffocating people There's an open fear of staying here An open fear of changing They're the fighters, fire is all they know So listen to the rain, listen to their pain Can you feel it pounding on the road Demanding "Will we ever know how to extend a broken hand to take another one and stand?" Oh and we fall And we're breaking in silence And there's glass on the floor And we're starting to bleed Don't just stand there, we're screaming in silence Is that all you have to say? Don't touch me Don't break me Control me Don't!
