she nursed him there over a night.
wasn't so sure she wanted him to stay.
what to say, what to say?
but soon she was down
soon he was low
at a quarter past
a holy no
she had to turn around.
when she couldn't hold
she folded
"a dissident is here"
escape is never the safest path
oh, a dissident...
"a dissident is here"
and to this day she's glided on
always home but so far away
like a word misplaced
nothing said, what a waste
but when she had contact
with the conflict
there was meaning
but she sold him to the state
she had to turn around
when she couldn't hold she folded
"a dissident is here"
escape is never the safest path
oh, a dissident...
"a dissident is here"
she gave him away when
she couldn't hold
no, she folded
"a dissident is here"
escape is never the safest path
oh, a dissident...
"a dissident is here"
couldn't hold on
she couldn't hold
no, she folded
"a dissident is here"
escape is never the safest place

i took a drive today
time to emancipate
i guess it was the beatings
made me wise.
but i'm not about to give thanks
or apologize
i couldn't breathe
holding me down
hand on my face
pushed to the ground
enmity gauged
united by fear
forced to endure
what i could not forgive
i seem to look away
the wounds in the mirror waved
it wasn't my surface
most defiled
head at your feet
fool to your crown
fist on my plate
swallowed it down
enmity gauged
united by fear
tried to endure
what i could not forgive
saw things...
clearer...
once you
were in my rearviewmirror
i gathered speed
from you fucking with me
once and for all
i'm far away
hard to believe
finally the shades are raised
saw things so much clearer
once you, once you...

they don't eat
don't sleep
they don't feed
they don't seethe
bare their gums when they moan and squeak
lick the dirt off a larger one's feet
they don't push
don't crowd
congregate until they're much too loud
fuck to procreate till they are dead
drink the blood
of their so called best friend
they don't scurry
when something bigger comes their way
don't pack themselves together
and run as one
don't shit
where they're not supposed to
don't take what's not theirs
they don't compare.
they don't scab
don't fight
don't oppress
an equals given rights
starve the poor
so they can be well fed
line their holes
with the dead one's bread
they don't scurry
when something bigger comes their way
don't pack themselves together
and run as one
don't shit
where they're not supposed to
don't take what's not theirs
they don't compare.

ben the two of us need look no more
i seem to recognize your face
haunting, familiar, yet
i can't seem to place it
cannot find the candle of thought
to light your name
lifetimes are catching up with me
all these changes taking place
i wish i'd seen the place
but no one's ever taken me
hearts and thoughts they fade
fade away
hearts and thoughts they fade
fade away
i swear i recognize your breath
memories, like fingerprints
are slowly raising
me you wouldn't recall
for i'm not my former
it's hard when your
stuck upon the shelf
i changed by not changing at all
small town predicts my fate
perhaps that's what no one wants to see
i just want to scream
hello...
my god its been so long
never dreamed you'd return
but now here you are
and here i am
hearts and thoughts they fade away
hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
hearts and thoughts they fade away
hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
hearts and thoughts they fade...
troubled souls unite
we got ourselves tonight oh
i am fuel, you are friends
we got the means to make amends
i am lost
i'm no guide
but i'm by your side
i am right by your side
young lover i stand
it was their idea
i proved to be a man
take my fucking hand
it was their idea
i proved to be a man
will myself to find a home
a home within myself
we will find a way
we will find our place
drop the leash
drop the leash
get outta' my fucking face.

i will light the match this morning
so i won't be alone
watch as she lies silent
for soon that will be gone
oh, i will stand arms outstretched
pretend i'm free to roam
oh, i will make my way
through one more day in hell
how much difference does it make?
how much difference does it make?
i will hold the candle
till it burns up my arm
oh, i'll keep taking punches
until their will grows tired
oh, i will stare the sun down
until my eyes go blind
hey, i won't change direction
and i won't change my mind
how much difference does it make?
how much difference does it make?
how much difference...
i'll swallow poison
until i grow immune.
i will scream my lungs out
till it fills this room.
how much difference...
how much difference...
how much difference does it make?
how much difference does it make?
