silver tongues and paper towns their whispers are as loud as an elephant find the balance between you and i they want my head above the mantle like a trophy they earned it well come and get it i bet we both look the same lying in a coffin only here on borrowed time why don t you get up off me hate me not for who i am but what you see take me not by what you see but what lies underneath i ve been torn limb from limb so many times i ve lost the feeling in my fingers and the focus in my eyes where is the justice when there s so many of us i said where is the justice when there is so many of us there are so many walks of life to choose you think you know me by my looks you don t know what i ve been through hate me not for who i am but what you see take me not by what you see but what lies underneath they show us that it s ugliness within them but our only purpose is living a life full of freedoms they tell us we re an abomination of nations they re showing us many choices and fighting hard to freeze them you can t believe them as far as you teach them so they ignore all of the core parts of our reason give them a good song they tell you you did wrong criticizing your very life till you want to delete it but i m the same as you put my clothes on the same way you do but you re too judgmental you wanna see me change clothes political views and religious intentions to make your life simple it s really difficult to take people serious when every thought s delirious and nothing s there to lift you to keep you dependent s the mission they re given you give them success every time you seem to share the same views so when do they lose is it when you re reaching your limits wanting to change everything about you or maybe it s when you re feeling it bubble within but in a violent rage you re feeding the demons that crowd you wait til they pound you for being bound to a better mind state what is the place that we can call safety i think my thoughts i live i walk i bleed i cry so why is it hard for you to take me as i am this is an anthem to anyone that s cast aside this is an anthem it s bigger than just you and i the voices scream and shout but i can t hear a sound i can feel their eyes like daggers this is an open book it s never let me down the light won t be on when you re locked out this is an anthem it s bigger then just you and i
