The Way To Crash - Emptyself

If i wrote a book…

Started a group

And every time you heard my name

Someone tried to control you

And all the wealthy praised me as

They drew more blood for affluence

And every time a bomb went off

My name was used in its defense…

Would i be despised?

Would i be ignored?

Or would i be the most accepted thing in the world?

And i pray every day

For the praying to end

And i’m sorry to say that

We’ve been deceived, my friends

Again and again

If both sides of every war

Used me to rally support

And every name brand racism

Believed my words were at its core

And every cruelty in the world

Was made possible by the view

That put its victims outside my grace

And held its sources as my truth…

Would i be despised?

Would i be ignored?

Or would i be the most accepted thing in the world?

And i pray every day

For the praying to end

And i’m sorry to say that

We’ve been deceived, my friends

Again and again
