No Pressure

The day I left
My past behind me at the gate
I ended up
In such an unfamiliar place

And what I saw of the mess they made
So many lines, not a word to say
I couldn't turn it off, so I had to turn away

I never wanted
That jilted version of the truth
And everything they fought for
They wanted me to fight for too

So here's what I said to the ones I faced
If you're coming in, there's a price to pay
So you can take it up, but you can't take it away

I see the whites of their eyes through the cracks of my
Fence and I wonder how long it'll take
For them to gather up whatever nerve they got
We'll be the wall they hit, lay them to waist

I see the whites of their eyes through the cracks of my
Fence and I wonder how long it'll take
For them to gather up whatever nerve they got
We'll be the wall they hit, lay them to waist
