Roots Lyrics by UltraViolent

Eviction

2019

[Avery Levan]
Take a look past the dust on the glass that’s amassed
Treat me like some kind of radical outcast
It’s pitiful, maybe I’m just a stereotypical
Hypocritical cynic or psychotic individual

We’ll light this fire to rise from the ash
Burn it all to the ground to ascend from the dust
Protagonists who chase their own tales
Imposters disguised by the stories they sell

You didn’t know but you didn’t care
You’ve heard it all at the exception of listening
Why am I still suffering here?
It’s no surprise you’re on the right side of history

When opposition is silenced
I’ll enjoy watching your tongue cut out
Accusational violence
Mobilized to crush conflicting doubt

We never needed another reason
We’ll do whatever it takes to do away with this
Ideological treason
Am I the only one left to believe in?

Take a look past the dust on the glass that’s amassed
Treat me like some kind of radical outcast
It’s pitiful, maybe I’m just a stereotypical hypocritical criminal

It’s no success if their blood is unsplattered
In this psuedo-assault on what you heroes protect
It’s simple to stitch when the needle’s unthreaded
Masked by your lies, your disguise is what you become

Didn’t know but you didn’t care
All the while spreading lies out of ignorance
Why am I still suffering here?
Trapped and confined inside this shameless hypocrisy

When opposition is silenced
I’ll enjoy watching your tongue cut out
Accusational violence
Mobilized to crush conflicting doubt

We never needed another reason
We’ll do whatever it takes to do away with this
Ideological treason
Am I the only one left to believe in?

You never needed another reason
To do whatever it takes to persuade yourself
Of what you want to believe in
Lest you question your own pretense

This is the world you fear!

What do you want from me?
Raise the stakes for heresy
When all is done, nothing’s said anymore
I’ll plant my roots in a ground where I’ve got nothing to stand for!
Ugh!
