Antidote
Unveiling Inner Struggles: Strike Anywhere's Antidote
Lyrics
To sleep with anger every day - to put your prayers in someone's mouth
To experience intense anger daily and entrust your wishes to someone else.
I watch you struggle with your own antidote, then you spit it out
Observing someone struggle with their own solution to problems, only to reject it.
And I can't breathe while I watch you sell yourself into the world
Feeling suffocated while witnessing someone compromise themselves for societal acceptance.
You try to steal my life
Confrontation about an attempt to steal one's life or identity.
Now. Kill the hatred with a new sound. Put a new voice in a dry mouth
Advocating for overcoming hatred through a fresh perspective and a new voice.
Breaking the prison inside - we're running riot
Breaking free from internal constraints and causing a disturbance.
Now. Kill the hatred with a new sound. Put a new voice in a dry mouth
Reiterating the call to eliminate hatred with new ideas and voices.
Will we bide our time afraid? Will we wait or overthrow?
Pondering whether to passively wait or actively challenge the status quo.
All these things in my life dem a stain to remove
Various negative experiences in life that need to be eradicated.
Beauty in our makeup peace in a gun cut the picture of yourself
Finding beauty in personal identity despite external conflicts.
In resistance to prove at least one of these colors does bleed and run
Choosing resistance to demonstrate that emotions and principles are not static.
It's the war inside of us all
Recognizing an internal conflict present in every individual.
Poverty is the biggest strongest jail that the government ever built
Portraying poverty as a powerful societal prison created by the government.
So we go paralyzed by the lie of socialized violence
Being immobilized by the falsehood of violence normalized by society.
And while American culture seeds stagnation with its guilt our
Criticizing American culture for fostering stagnation and guilt.
Society is the lie we define with our silence
Contending that society is shaped by our collective silence and acceptance of lies.
A living thing the sound fe run lasting forever always
Describing a lasting and eternal quality in the power of sound.
