This Means War

from Between Us by Calliope Musicals

lyrics

where are you from and why?
I thought that I was meant to fly
this gun in my hand, but I don't know why my father said you
were meant to die
in the name of ideas, but what for?
I know that I've thought things before
but the things that I thought never seemed worth more
than what you feel and who you are.
where are you from? down south
gas those words right from your mouth
I built this wall just to keep you out,
and your children, too I have no doubt
that's it, no more,
I have lived this shit before
to hell with the wretched, tired, and poor
i'll snuff the lamp by the golden door
where have you been? and how
have you stayed asleep till just right now while destruction you
disavow
runs rampant because we allow
shame to keep us inside
too paralyzed to even try
fear of the failure of our fight
dolus teaches us wrong from right
this means war
this means believing what you're dying for
and i'll tell you i
i don't believe.
waiting for help that never shows
they pay the debts that we all owe
but this aint the bible tell ya so
and the good won't win with just one stone.
this means war
and there's not a weapon you can buy that can save your soul
so it's time to decide what you believe
