I want you to keep teaching things they’ve forbidden

I can’t help but hate the love I’ve been given

I know you want me in your home

But my heart it just has to roam

But I still wanna learn the secrets they’ve hidden

———

I know there is something, made from joy and from pain

I know that that something is full of hate and the rain

I know it is made of love, made from justice, beneath, above

I know there is something, made from joy and from pain

———

I want you to keep teaching things they’ve forbidden

I can’t help but hate the love I’ve been given

I know you want me in your home

But my heart it just has to roam

But I still wanna learn the secrets they’ve hidden

———

I know there is something, that flows through both of our hearts

And even if it kills me, I’ll bring to life all our parts

I know it is full of life, full of justice, within all strife

I know there is something, that flows through both of our hearts

———

I want you to keep teaching things they’ve forbidden

I can’t help but hate the love I’ve been given

I know you want me in your home

But my heart it just has to roam

But I still wanna learn the secrets they’ve hidden

They love individualism

They love power, their constitution

They love hiding the blood they’ve spilled

I love seeing the monarchs killed

They love blaming the heartbroken

They love all of the hate they’ve spoken

They love keeping our heads bowed

They can hurt me, I won’t be cowed

They can fill my lungs with blood

They can rain down a fire flood

But I’ll respond with a hundred times more force

More brutality, more infinity, more coarse

I’ll respond with a hundred times more force

More brutality, more infinity, more coarse

———

I want you to keep teaching things they’ve forbidden

I can’t help but hate the love I’ve been given

I know you want me in your home

But my heart it just has to roam

But I still wanna learn the secrets they’ve hidden

———

I will find that something, hiding somewhere away

I will keep the secret, away from the light of day

I will make the whole world change, make it love, unrestrained

I will find that something, hiding somewhere away123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJbRRcW067
