Voice of the Voiceless (working title)

Judge me if you must,
Hate me if you want,
Love me if you feel it,
Just know it's not a front.

What you see is what you get.
Don't expect a damn thing more.
I have exactly what I need,
Don't have to settle no damn score.

And everything around us
Seems more mixed up by the day.
Maybe I'm the only one that sees,
As the rest just try to find a way.
It's hard to watch this rat race
When you see it could be more
And the rats that won't stop running
Don't know what they're racing for.

Call me a sinner
Or call me a saint,
Either way I'm still an artist,
This picture I'll still paint.

Just like I was a mirror,
Just like I was a ghost.
I'm a voice for the voiceless,
Not some goddamn talk-show host.

And everything around us
Seems more mixed up by the day.
Maybe I'm the only one that sees,
As the rest just try to find a way.
It's hard to watch this rat race
When you see it could be more
And the rats that won't stop running
Don't know what they're racing for.

I guess I'll just keep watching,
Since there's nothing I can do,
And nothing I can say.

No way to make it go away.

-------------------------

Hate me if you want to,
Love me if you think you can,
Either way you're one up on the rest,
At least you have a plan.

What you see is what you get.
Don't expect a damn thing more.
I've found the cheese within my maze,
I've settled my own score.

And everything around us
Seems more mixed up by the day.
Maybe I'm the only one that sees,
As the rest just try to find a way.
It's hard to watch this rat race
When you see it could be more
And the rats that won't stop running
Don't know what they're racing for.

It's hard to watch from outside
Once you've found the puzzle's end,
And harder still to leave behind
The ones you called your friends




And everything around us
Seems more mixed up by the day.

As the rest just try to find a way.

And the rats that won't stop running
Don't know what they're racing for.

I guess I'll just keep watching,
Since there's nothing I can do,
And nothing I can say.

No way to make it go away.
