They say the pen is mightier than the sword
And those who live by one they'll die by one
So speak and kill em one by one
I seek a meaning finding none
But I keep searching for that knowledge like a tendril seeks the sun
I can't grow without my roots inside these surplus combat boots
So I unlace and place my soul inside the soil and let uncoil my roots to depths within the land where once my own forefathers toiled
Turn my awareness back within and worry not what I'm without
by blocking out what's found without to seek the calm that's sometimes found by turning whispers to a shout
I watch my gestures and take measures to be careful calm and measured as I strive forever more to attain my personal rapture
I care not for my own stature or affection I can capture nor am I so enamored with my own voice that I will lecture
Certainly believe you me I am not one to put on airs and treat my brethren like they're lepers
I've found through my long reflection that I've become that which I hated so now I pass my time reflecting on how it was I strayed from on the path I'd stayed before I lost my focus and took my from that which matters
And those who live by one they'll die by one
So speak and kill em one by one
I seek a meaning finding none
But I keep searching for that knowledge like a tendril seeks the sun
I can't grow without my roots inside these surplus combat boots
So I unlace and place my soul inside the soil and let uncoil my roots to depths within the land where once my own forefathers toiled
Turn my awareness back within and worry not what I'm without
by blocking out what's found without to seek the calm that's sometimes found by turning whispers to a shout
