legal kill

i only know what i believe
the rest is so absurd to me
i close my eyes so i can't see
but the picture just gets clearer
everyday

i read somewhere to learn
is to remember
and i learned we all forgot
there was peace in her before
but that was yesterday

but i can see
the beauty that is here for me
the chance to live and walk free
from a legal kill

i know your side so very well
it makes no sense that i can tell
the smell of hell is what i smell
and you hand it out with handshakes
everyday

i have trouble with the persons
with the signs
but i feel the need to make my own
yes there are two ways to be
and truth does not depend on me

but i can feel
the fight for life is always real
i can't believe it's no big deal
it's a legal kill
