Nothing Ever Changes

The pain of our broken bones
 Holds no candle to the pain of our broken homes
 The bothersome cold and fatherless homes
 Who is to blame but our own
 When mothers overseas
 See pain that we don't know
 And they pray their offspring have no double X chromosome
 Cause if so, they become triple X photo drones
 While we spend our time alone
 On our cellular phones
 Not connecting with each other's minds
 And definitely not connecting with each other's souls
 And this black hole's just the right size for the devil to make his home
 And it's sad to say but I can unfortunately admit that
 Time after time I've let these demons inhabit my mind
 But can you blame me when I'm raised in a nation that
 Teaches me every time I make a mistake
 I can just blame society
 And my United States is a product of history books
 Not history
 And I'm the child of enough stern preaching
 To believe in things I can't even see
 But I'll take it with no reason cause I need some sort of clarity and dignity
 Through this changing season
 And people say I'm speaking blasphemy and unrighteously
 And I'm gonna regret this
 When really I'm just telling you what I'm afraid of
 And they say I'm gonna wish I could eat my words
 When I meet my maker
 But I've compromised myself so many times
 That I don't even know what I'm made of
 So forgive me
 I'm just another broken human
 Trying to live freely
