Lyrics
Wrapped up sitting in your box for life

Would you notice if I even read you your rights?
Questioning whether someone would notice if their rights were violated or if they were mistreated.

We bide our time wear our disguise, know how to complicate us, intimidate us.

-We'll never make it
-Burn your youth away
-'Cause there's nothing past today
-And if I can't change it,
-You won't change it,
-We'll never make it.
-Shut down living in a poverty of truth.
Living in a reality devoid of truth or honesty.
I opened my newspaper and there was the proof.

Those damn celebrities hide the issues in my life,
