Endurance

Now!
 Everything in which you struggle
 And strive to be only proves
 That you are something that you cannot be
 See!
 You're bringing me down with false words, profound
 Making me pray for silence
 The only golden sound
 See!
 Why must I be required to suffer for art
 When it's something you exclude
 From the very start
 See!
 You're putting me under a microscope
 How will I cope when I know that there is
 Zero joy!
 You're allowing me
 Access to your family
 And slamming me, say
 This will be the fall of me
 When!
 Did you forget that freedom of speech is
 Something I would protect
 Denying my fruits are in check
 When!
 The words of the brethren
 'Cause time and time again
 I see it put back together again
 When!
 I had to come to terms that wherever you turn
 Some are quick to love and
 Some would rather see you burn!
 This is my test of time!
 And this is my test of time!
 And this is my test of time!
 Endurance!
 Endurance!
 Struggle is something that I'm used to
 Been abused too
 And it's something that I know to be too true
 Now!
 And I remain
 The one to deal with false recognition
 Wishing still while you're dismissing
 Now!
 That I agree and you agree
 That we can never agree
 And still you turn and run and I will see
 Now!
 That this is all that you have for your case
 You turn in disgrace
 Say it to my face!
 This is my test of time!
 And this is my test of time!
 And this is my test of time!
 Endurance!
 Endurance!
 God!
 Would!
 Heal!
 You!
 This is my test of time!
 This is my test of time!
 This is my test of time!
