We Are the Riot

I know how insane we are

The folly splitting us apart

I can’t dodge any longer

Our words are express bullets

Smashing our skulls empty

I wonder how long we’ve held

This fury, the last peace

Was years ago, I’m a stranger

In the world we’ve made together

As the quake turns stronger

We are the riot

I was east

You were west

I wanted this

You wanted that

I said ‘oh, yes’

You said ‘please~’

I asked you to shut up

You asked me to speak loud

I craved to get away

You liked us to just stay

I tried to be even better

You said I was a dreamer

I said ‘we’re done!’

You said ‘you won’t leave me alone!’

I’ve lived your life

You’ve lived your own life

I’m sick of your words

You’re sick of my silence

Maybe this won’t be

Because the future is none

Maybe this is the end

Because the beginning’s gone

Maybe this is not us

Because together, we are alone

We’re our own riot

Mind-made wars

Heart-felt mars

Skin-deep scars
