Religious Warfare

Religious Warfare

I'm solemn but im hopeful that they will choose the side..

I'm put together by a pen, piece of paper and the glue of time..

I'm solid but I'm reckless, slit wrists bleed through a pen, lyrical suicide..

I got em frozen I'm stone cold like medusas eyes..

And what happens when you close your heart away from toxins..

Body's drop limbs crack from the lack of caution..

My thoughts suffocate ideas and execute with oxygen..

I'm going way too deep without a soul to stop me in..

See its vivid, you can see this rain fall like  sand in hour glasses..

Church pews fill by the hour with the power in masses..

Its chaotic the way they breath in the fumes of a holy ghost..

I'm drinking whiskey by the bottle mixed with holy water and a splash of coke..

They drop missiles and threaten with the power of war..

And these Atom bombs hit with the sound of divorce..

They want to divide and conquer, see the lives they slaughtered..

Come back for round 2 but were alive and proper..

I came up as an inner city youth cursed by poverty..

Social security identifies you as their property..

A ward of the court, a victim of purpose..

My thoughts bleed through bibles where they hold a credit for sermons..

We sat and listened to preachers, liable as teachers..

Of the new world order while we inhaled the ether..

Gas fumes and lighters, religion in the form of distress.. 

Every Sunday morning I felt that pain in my chest..

See war and religion go hand in hand..

When your broke and can't make it out of no mans land..

I'm just trying to break the barriers of stereotypical silence..

Hate crimes arise with the sound of sirens..

Its being alive and screaming, body's torn from lost faith..

The power of violence felt across nations like earthquakes..

I want to rise up and prosper through a lack of command..

A anarchist state with a passion for glam..

If we could all unite as one, hold the world for ransom..

Peace on earth would be easier to imagine..
