Writing Letters - Dead to Me

I’ve been writing letters since that confession

Was beaten out of me and now I’ll spend my life alone

We are all children whose fate was sealed

When it was decided we wouldn’t be given a chance to grow

If you grew up where we did, would you be different?

I guess we’ll never know

If you saw things I’ve seen, would you turn our like me?

I guess we’ll never know

Why can’t you understand our lives are in your hands?

Spinning out of control so you put me in a cage

When the effects of this social test are felt you will see

It will be far too late to simply reverse this

A generation rendered fatherless

Watch it unravel and then you’ll know

It’s not that hard to figure out

We’re unwilling pawns but there’s no doubt

We’d watch the laws all quickly change

The day the rich kids are treated the same

If you put me in a cage

Don’t be shocked then on the day

That I turn into an animal

Feeding on your apathy and hate
