Cut a Tooth

Outrage and justice different shades of grey
 The hand of power fuels the fist of rage
 To conquer the odds and to overthrow the mighty
 The meek must fortify a message without mercy
 I don't want to go through the pain they say I need to
 I just want to break the system that we've been chained to
 I believe in the burden and the struggle to cut a tooth
 But how many will lie to hide the truth
 It's too critical now to look away and spare the trauma
 Surrender to the anger to feel the injustice
 Expose the weakness at the risk of finding fear
 Because denial and compromise only leave us stuck here
 I don't want to go through the pain they say I need to
 I just want to break the system that we've been chained to
 I believe in the burden and struggle to cut a tooth
 But how many will lie to hide the truth
 Persecute the behavior that's accepted because it's learned
 And refuse to concede when conflict is deserved
 Freedom isn't real until all misfortune is heard
 And progress is meaningless built on empty words
 I don't want to go through the pain they say I need to
 I just want to break the system that we've been chained to
 I believe in the burden and struggle to cut a tooth
 But how many will lie to hide the truth
