Lowlife

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

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 (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 cant 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 dependents 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
