Compulsion

We are the dirt of which empires grow, to which empires fall We are the ones who bled from their hands, the ones who breathe ash One falls, another will rise The program of a sociopath We are just key to their tyranny They will tear at our flesh with their words and their way Left to bear their own reflections Soulless with a narrow mind Sacrificing everything but themselves Their pride defies you Don't you stop and wonder why that it is our lives that are trivialized? It's all so broken Do you want to live this way? As pawns in the game they play? They will tear at our flesh with their words and their way Left to bare their own reflection I fear this perpetual situation I fear this perpetual situation Soulless with a narrow mind Sacrificing everything but themselves Their pride defies you Don't you ever wonder why it is our lives that are trivialized It's all so broken
