Survival Struggle: Unveiling the Dark Realities in Texas in July's 'C4'
Lyrics
If we carry on this way we won’t survive
If the current path continues, there's a risk of not making it through.
We have to draw the line
We need to establish boundaries.
A victim of your own convictions
Becoming a casualty of one's own strong beliefs.
We can’t let them in to our minds
We must protect our minds from external influences.
Hype the threats but never pull the trigger
Talking big about threats but avoiding actual action.
A nation of patriots with dirty hands
A nation of patriotic individuals with questionable actions.
Society under siege, a swarm of gunmen with ruthless intentions
Society is besieged by individuals with harmful intentions.
Now I don’t have the good intentions
Admitting to lacking good intentions.
I wore my heart on my sleeve
Previously being open and vulnerable, not the case anymore.
Not anymore, not me
Changing and becoming more guarded.
Its time like these we should have swallowed the key
Reflecting on times when it would have been wise to keep secrets.
Stuffed the bottle sent it out to sea
Sending away personal struggles to avoid dealing with them.
In a sea of treason
In a situation full of betrayal and disloyalty.
Tell me, who or what give you the right to decide what defines innocent lives?
Questioning the authority to determine innocence or threat.
Do you feel threatened by your own kind?
Asking if one feels threatened by their own kind.
Under the watch of a man made weapon built to break and honest life
Being monitored by a man-made tool designed to disrupt honest lives.
Do you feel threatened by your own kind?
Reiterating the question of feeling threatened by one's own kind.
What’s the drive behind your motives?
Questioning the motives driving certain actions.
All this blood on your hands
Accusing someone of having blood on their hands, indicating guilt.
All these lies
Referring to the abundance of lies.
How many brains washed does it take to see the dollar signs?
Asking about the number of manipulated minds it takes to see financial gains.
We’re wandering the blank space
Feeling lost in a situation with no clear direction.
Filling the gaps of the raw truth
Filling the gaps in the raw truth, possibly with deception.
Truth that has yet to set me free
Yearning for a truth that will bring freedom.
And if we try to recognize the fiction
If we acknowledge the falsehoods, we can avoid being part of the problem.
We won’t be part of the picture now
Choosing not to be part of a distorted reality.
Tell me, who or what give you the right to decide what defines innocent lives?
Repeating the question about authority in defining innocent lives.
If we carry on this way we won’t survive
Reiterating the warning that continuing this way will lead to non-survival.
If we carry on this way we won’t survive
Emphasizing the precarious nature of the current path.
We have to draw the line
The necessity to establish clear boundaries.
If we carry on this way we won’t survive
Highlighting the risk of non-survival if the current path persists.
We have to draw the line
Reiterating the importance of drawing a line to ensure survival.
