2x4 - Volition lyrics

My whole life, I would watch as you burn That last drag, a storm fills your lungs Rotting your core as the ashes fall off your tongue Too tough to feel the heat, this genocide stick you feed Corrupting the minds of our brothers Our mothers and our fathers It's times like these that keep us alive Building us up while our world dies It's days like these we need to survive Building up the world with our own cries Breathing in the bullet, bleeding out the agony Letting go is cold, when you're rotting away Release these shackles, binding your lips to the thought That you can't live without, your life never felt so selfless It's times like these that keep us alive Building us up while our world dies It's days like these we need to survive Building up the world with our own cries Keep us alive while our world dies We can't blame you, we can see you We know your intentions, we can see through the tension We can see you fighting, we can see you trying We all die, maybe from our own volition
