and i still break like a promise
.
damn you,
and your war,
your bruised skin
your armor
.
i hate fighting your battles
.
make a stand
hold our hands
preach happiness
clean up the mess
[when we bleed]
[red and gold on you]
.
you swear we fight
for family, for rights
but at the end
i just see
people letting go of life
cursing you for your crimes
.
this is not how you define a hero
.
your kin
leave the earth
for your sins
no more chances
you cannot win
.
make a choice
they rule your life
but choose for us,
not you,
just one
time
.
we fight
and bleed
and cry
and concede
.
