They say that the truth will set you free But then again, so will a lie... It depends if you're trying to get to the promised land Or if you're just trying to get by.

Then I show up steady ready and proud and I find I've forgotten how to talk out loud. Isn't it just like you to bring me to my knees?

They see me as a symbol, and not a human being. That way they can kill me, say it’s not murder it’s a metaphor.
