Let Me Be

by Benjamin Ackerman
I'm better than you, and I know you well
evictedfrom life, sent straight to hell
they drained your blood and erased your name
removed your soul and forgot your fame
ask yourself, who you know
measure yourself by your soul
I never thought it'd come to this
I never thought see you hear
I never thought I'd be controlled by someone else's fears
For all I've ever wanted
For all I've ever said
mistaken forever, memories left for dead
Bleed me now and praise me later
positioned in a hierarchy through someone else's labour
psychopathic dreams of truths and lies
permeate my soul and sting my eyes
All we need is somebody
to remove these shackles and set us free
All I need is somebody
to soothe my soul and let me be
