Strain Lyrics

So you can put good people
into the ground
But you can't keep
good ideas down
Some get away
with poisonous crimes
They'll walk with guilt
until the end of time
While we try to overcome
this world's pain
It seems the harder we push forward
We only increase the strain

I m so tired of nothing ever changing
of everything staying the same
Of misunderstanding
And being misunderstood
Of feeling like a bad man
When i know i'm good... I'm good.
This is not a song
of hope wearing thin
it's a call to arms
to those who will not give in
it's a war against fear,
a fight for compassion
To bring equality to all humans
While we strive only to ease the pain
It seems the harder we push forward
We only increase the strain

Pressure's casting
Between good and bad
The balance shifting back and forth
The repetition desensitizes us
Instead of motivating
It keeps us in bed...

Its our world, it's our voice
It's our life, it's our choice
Speak loud, speak truth
