More Than Blood- lyrics for The Rouse 2015

They backed us to the wall and told us not to fight
But were oh so tired of that
They know we read the lies
In green bought eyes

We work our fingers bare
With little left to show
Than these held down social class
But the spirit wont subside

Because we're stronger now...
Deliberate...
Resilient...
They know that we're right

They put us in a box and told us to be quiet
But were oh so sick of that
Our hearts beat more than blood
Pulse full of pride

Live with our money spent
By someone else's vote
But we don't support the act
Not the rock beneath their feet

Because we're stronger now...
Deliberate...
Resilient...
They know that were right

 "Spoiled Brat" Pretentious and Pitiful Pretentious and Pitiful Nothing earned and nothing begged Builds only entitlement Cut me, Cut me Cut me, Look at me  Pretentious and Pitiful Pretentious and Pitiful Look at me Look at my body Oh daddy I cut me Pretentious and Pitiful
I DON'T EAT SUNSHINE AND PREACH POSITIVITY. I SPEAK TRUTH. MANY TRUTHS OF REALITIES AND DESIRE. I HAVE SWALLOWED THE DARK MOMENTS SET UPON ME,  THE FILTHY OFFERINGS OF SUBSTINACE. I HAVE DEVOURED THE HATEFUL INDIFFERENCE. MY SOUL BLACKENED WITH FEAR AND MISTRUST. MY MENTAL FORTITUDE RIDDLED WITH SHAME. MY BODY MARKED AND SCARED FROM THE INJUSTICE. I DO NOT EAT BEAUTY AND LOVE. I STAND IN MY GRACE, IN MY HONESTY. HEALING AND HOLDING IN THE SPACE WHERE I AM UNAPOLAGETIC AND DELICIOUS.
