By god, I’m surrounded by fucking monsters 

It wasn’t enough that you cursed out the oppressed 

It wasn’t enough that you wished your neighbors literally dead 

It wasn’t enough, it wasn’t enough 

I’m scared to be myself, that wasn’t enough 

Your children will live through hell and that won’t be enough 

You torture all the progress I fight tooth and nail for 

Trying to give your children a safe world 

Somewhere they can open up and Daddy doesn’t know 

Because all he talks about is disgust, disgust, disgust 

About lovers and love, lovers of love 

It isn’t enough 

[REDACTED] 

FUCK! 

And the worst part is 

None of this is real 

I’m fighting with a figment of my imagination 

 

I swear to god it’s been six months 

And now it’s worse 

You guys weren’t enough 

The whole country’s been cursed 

I’d rather we just poison the wells 

Somehow I think this might be worse than hell 

And it’s all man-made 

“Intelligent”? Yeah, you make me laugh, bait 

I can’t even get my lines straight 

Because I just wanna rage 

This must be a mistake 

Can we have a retake? 

And the part that I hate 

The most in all of this is 

I’m terrified 

So I’m on standby 

Fists ready, but not a sound 

I destroyed my pride 

So I could be around 

When your kid grows up 

And they confuse love 

With all the shit you spew 

Like words could build a cage 

To protect them from the monsters 

All the ones you label 

As monsters anyway 

I wish I could do the same 

Then I wouldn’t be surrounded by my shame 

That I can’t stand up in the face 

Of the monsters. Anyway. 

I’ll smile when I see you 

If I remember 

I have no choice when I am 

Surrounded
