Citizen

For you to tell me I'm way out of line, kid

Is an understatement

Today I'm bold enough to start a war on

Everyone around me

And if you run, don't ever stop...

When you retreat again

Make it far enough to lose your way back

I'll be a gentleman

And leave it to you to keep your distance

To say the least, I've been so very tired of you

Of all of this

Time and again, trying to bury you

God it feels better now

Like an empire crumbling at my feet

I saw your character cracking

And it was call and response

Now I no longer hear you

I was so many things before being honest

And I'll be so many more before I do it again

These words are alleviation

I'll brush you out of my head

I'm not taking myself back to prison

I'll bring myself back from the dead

So long my friend, you are forgotten...
