Claim Your Bones
4:57 PM
We’re anticipating the moment we die
while trying to survive
Waking up everyday to be part of a lie
Kissing ass to a society that does not see our tries
Sad to hear the sound of children cry
because their stomachs are empty
meanwhile consumerism is on the rise
My father sighs
He didn't know that this was The American Dream.
He didn't know that one day we would be on separate teams
Silence screams
We start to notice life isn't what it seems so
I close my eyes and try to take myself some place more serene

Realize this is your reality
What you project into the world
is what you are going to see
As for me, I’m thinking positive
and living life that way
Manifesting good energy and praying that it stays
Seizing days
Like banks taking homes from working families
I’m confident we can live in love but some would disagree
Are these the sons of the very men
who have already stained history?
How much do you know about the truth
and how far are you willing to go to seek it?
Are you down to open your mind
and forget what you learned in order to reach it?
Do you dare put your life on the line
or risk humiliation so you can re-teach it?
Are you ready to contemplate the bad in the world
to build up a little anger in order to release it?

Leaving the comfort of your home
to stand on the proverbial front lines
Organizers of peaceful protests
Best Friends serving as Spirit Guides
We are the generation who is living life to the fullest
so we can be examples for our daughters
Working hard and having fun to pave the way for
revolution starters and future fathers
chasing harbors to come home brand new
So let’s not give up on each other
no matter what else we do
Let’s break barriers of our own
and I promise, it’ll speed across the seas
If you've ever stepped out of your comfort zone
you know exactly what I mean
So don’t be afraid to speak your mind
and don’t be afraid to scream
don’t be afraid to go your own way -
Life is but a dream
