lyrics

Verse 1 (Tony):
The sun sets on the thieve, it's upsetting me/
I'm only seeing storms form and weather me/
No remedy, blind shepherds of the enemy/
Blind sheep aplenty, and bind them to empty destinies/
No empty pockets, they thrive in their deceptive schemes/
Oppress the weak, impress them with many breathless things/
And say "It's life, get it at any price"/
Pop vices like vicadin yeah you choose your device/
Living wrecklessly, I'm fighting in an attempt to be/
The designated driver, they fight me off to protect the keys/
The sober voice gets softer, the scoffer's getting louder/
The speed is getting faster prepare for an encounter/
With a force with no give, absorb the force and go limp/
Broken of course, but can't divorce what I hope in/
Motion the medic, don't ever let the cold in to set in/
You rose resurrected, so can you clone resurrection in me?

Pre Chorus:
Push. You push and then you will. You push and then you will.
You push and then you will yourself to breakout
Sit. I sit and I await. I sit and I await.
I sit and I await. I might just cave now

Chorus:
How Long? Till the wicked’s grip is lost
I am fighting but I’m tired and my fight is almost gone
How long? Till they get up from their long
Overdrawn dream and they see they’ve lost it all… how long

Bridge: 3X
Not long, Not long.

Verse 2 (Freddy):
Why’s it getting harder why do I even bother/
When no matter what I do I get caught up in deeper waters/
So I wonder what’s the purpose, is it worth it/
Am I supposed to smile and just accept this situation I’ve been cursed with/
I’m searching, seeking, for a reason not to sink in/
While I’m seeing what I’m seeing, seems relief is wishful thinking/
Seems the people that I’m peeping are succeeding while I’m weeping/
While you’re seeing what I’m seeing disagreeing/
Wicked beatings in the morning, eating feasts in the evening/
Injustice to those with creases and to the babies not yet teething/
What’s the reason? Questions here I’m reaching for whatever that your teaching/
Let me see now what I’m missing, what’s to learn now? Done critiquing/
Let me understand, let me grasp, lend me a place to land/
A sturdy hand to clasp, I’m gasping out my lungs almost collapsing/
But I can't let this be the place I collapse in last/
I’m asking, for the way to get my foot out from this casket/

Pre-chorus
Chorus


Final Verse:

Shared:
It’s like the weight of a waiting room, pacing the pace is too/
Complacent it’s shaking you, hope the patient can make it to/
Outpatient and break on through, out of patience just say the news/
Debating the statement soon to come, will it scrape and wound?/
Why the delaying? Mind is racing and praying/
Is hard to manage and say with so much noise this abrasive/
If I can hold onto faith and know my foundation/
Is not the one that is breaking, I’ll see justice invade this!
