What We Give


The Hate around here is coming from all sides

We're quick to ponit our finger

But what we really do is hide whats inside

 We draw away the attention because were insecure

 

Doubt and Fear in our heads

The doubled headed monster controls our assumptions

We let the two heads make us commit acts we'd otherwise dread

We let the hate out to make up for something

 

The failure to acknowledge hate doesn't make it go away

The blind eye lets hate see

We have to recognize hate is here before we can hope to push it away

Until then the Community will never be free

 

You have to open both your eyes

The ones that can see outside

And I especially advise

The ones that can see Inside

 

All of us are subject to hate

Its a common trait

 

We need to see it in every way 

And overcome it everyday
