Lyrics
Status Symbol
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A will to survive; shackled and silent.
Oppressive self-religion holds us back.
Token hands close tightly around necks.
Neglecting those which would impair them.
Each chosen word burns through my heart.
Complacent standards torn apart.
But there's not room left for ignorance;
Who's held, legs prone to movement, all torn apart;
Who's held back us.
