Vultures

from Identity Crisis by Van Houten

/

lyrics

I have waited, time and again to come to these gates and show myself for who I am. To be seen and not heard, judged, critiqued, disgust, defamed. Disabused of the notion that times have changed, vultures tying this gag in place. Vultures don't know me, they just know my face. Vultures tearing out the flesh they say is wrong (so wrong), self-abuse and fucking spiteful second class citizen, victim of assumption. Say it to my face but you haven't got the gumption, I'll still be here waiting. Breaking down walls just to strengthen foundations, preaching tolerance and serving damnation. Tell your kids that I'm a fucking aberration. Why all the prejudice? When the walls closed in and squeezed my skull I saw you on the lever just nodding along as if my cries were confirmation I was lacking in faith, well I've got faith that if i see you bitch I'll spit in your face. You've had the wool pulled over your eyes, give it time to understand the fucking truth they've disguised. And this Molotov may burn our bridges down, to shatter the glass walls surrounding you. We swore ourselves (brothers) until the end, but I've carried my cross and taken my nails, and my mind wearies of this fucking trend (to blend in) to blend in and acquiesce instead of being free to be what I want.
