Hang Your Head

This is the death of a revolution
Like a bullet to your brain
A ceasefire of the weapons
That help us combat a world gone insane
And now this place is just as crazy
As everything we stood against
Ignorance, arrogance, vanity and greed
All the bullshit that has no place
I’m losing faith inside these four walls, so I hang my head
I’m losing touch in the ones closest to me, so I hang my head
I’m losing faith in myself, all I do is hang my head
I’m losing it in my one true love, so I can’t just pretend
That everything is going to be alright
While we breathe our final breath
I’m still beating my fists against the same old walls
I’ve spent my life trying to break
If this doesn’t come roaring out of you like the rising sun
Hang your head
If you are doing this for me or them or anyone but yourself
Hang your head
If this is anything less than everything
Hang your head
So what can I do to protect my home, while they rip it apart
I will give every breath to this
Will not hang my head
I’ll keep fighting for every inch
Will not hang my head
I won’t let this become another place to hang my head
Live it or leave it I’ll take these words to my fucking grave
So you can have this when you pry it from my cold dead hands
Cause the older I get the angrier I am
And the harder it is to find balance
Focus it and carry it like a weapon
On my side to help me keep my head
Cause this has kept me from finding hope
At the end of a gun
At the end of a fucking rope
Hang your head
